Numbers 25:11-13
“ Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites, when he manifested such zeal for my sake among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in my zeal.Therefore, announce:‘ I am going to give to him my covenant of peace.So it will be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of a permanent priesthood, because he has been zealous for his God, and has made atonement for the Israelites.’”

Mark 14:3-9
Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. 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.”
