John 12:3-8

Sawyer(i) 3 Then Mary taking a pound of genuine nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. 4 But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii [$42], and given to the poor? 6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it. 7 Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial; 8 the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
