The Anointing at Bethany
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, awhere Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 aThere they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 Then aMary took a pound of very costly oil of bspikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 But one of His disciples, aJudas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for1 three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
