John 12:3-8

³Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard or spikenard precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.

⁴Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,

⁵Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men?

⁶But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.

⁷Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;

⁸for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not ever-more have me.
