Mark 14:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

A Woman Prepares Jesus’ Body for the Tomb^(A)

³ Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had suffered from a skin disease. While Jesus was sitting there, a woman went to him. She had a bottle of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She opened the bottle and poured the perfume on his head.

⁴ Some who were there were irritated and said to one another, “Why was the perfume wasted like this? ⁵ This perfume could have been sold for a high price, and the money could have been given to the poor.” So they said some very unkind things to her.
