John 12:3-8

³Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

⁴Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —

⁵'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'

⁶and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

⁷Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

⁸for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
