John 12:3-8

³Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

⁴Then one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was about to betray Him, said,

⁵“Why wasn’t this fragrant oil sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

⁶Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and since he had the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it.

⁷Jesus therefore said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

⁸You will always have the poor among you, but you won’t always have me.”
