The Anointing at Bethany

³ While^(A) he was in Bethany^(B) at the house of Simon the leper,^[a](C) as he was reclining at the table,^(D) a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head.^{(E) 4} But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this perfume been wasted? ⁵ For this perfume might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii^[b](F) and given to the poor.”^(G) And they began to scold her.
