John 12:3-8

American Standard Version

³ Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of ^[a]pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. ⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should ^[b]betray him, saith, ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred ^[c]shillings, and given to the poor? ⁶ Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the ^[d]bag ^[e]took away what was put therein. ⁷ Jesus therefore said, ^[f]Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. ⁸ For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
