1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death.
2 They prepared a dinner for him there, which Martha helped serve; Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at the table with Jesus.
3 Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house.
4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot—the one who was going to betray him—said,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?”
