Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfumed oil, and she poured it on his head as he was at the table.When the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said,“ Why this waste?It could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor!”When Jesus learned of this, he said to them,“ Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me.For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!When she poured this oil on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.But some who were present indignantly said to one another,“ Why this waste of expensive ointment?It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!” So they spoke angrily to her.But Jesus said,“ Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a good service for me.For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me!She did what she could. She anointed my body beforehand for burial.I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Martha was serving, and Lazarus was among those present at the table with him.Then Mary took three quarters of a pound of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She then wiped his feet dry with her hair.( Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.)But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples( the one who was going to betray him) said,“ Why wasn’t this oil sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?”( Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)So Jesus said,“ Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!”
