Mark 14:3-5

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Is Anointed With Oil In Preparation For His Burial

³ And He being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, while He is reclining [to eat], a woman came having an alabaster-jar of very-precious genuine^[a] nard^[b] perfume^[c]. Having broken the alabaster-jar, she poured it down over His head. ⁴ But some were being indignant to themselves— “For what purpose has this waste of perfume taken place? ⁵ For this perfume could have been sold for over three-hundred^[d] denarii and given to the poor”. And they were sternly-scolding her.
