John:12:3-7

*
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard ,
very costly ,
and anointed the feet of Jesus ,
and wiped his feet with her hair :
and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment .
*
Then saith one of his disciples ,
Judas Iscariot ,
Simon '
s son ,
which should betray him ,
*
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence ,
and given to the poor ?
*
This he said ,
not that he cared for the poor ;
but because he was a thief ,
and had the bag ,
and bare what was put therein .
*
Then said Jesus ,
Let her alone :
against the day of my burying hath she kept this .
