John 12 v 1-8
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom
Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honour. Martha
served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him.
3 Then Mary
took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet
and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the
perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a
year’s wages.”
6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief;
as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this
perfume for the day of my burial.
8 You will always have the poor among you, but
you will not always have me.”
