Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

There was a woman in that town who had lived a sinful life. She learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house. So she came there with a special jar of perfume.She stood behind Jesus and cried at his feet. And she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair. She kissed them and poured perfume on them.The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. She is a sinner!”

Then Jesus left the people and went out of the city to Bethany. He spent the night there.

Jesus was in Bethany. He was at the table in the home of Simon, who had a skin disease. A woman came with a special sealed jar. It contained very expensive perfume made out of pure nard. She broke the jar open and poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.Some of the people there became angry. They said to one another,“ Why waste this perfume?It could have been sold for more than a year’s pay. The money could have been given to poor people.” So they found fault with the woman.“ Leave her alone,” Jesus said.“ Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.You will always have poor people with you. You can help them any time you want to. But you will not always have me.She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body to prepare me to be buried.What I’m about to tell you is true. What she has done will be told anywhere the good news is preached all over the world. It will be told in memory of her.”

It was six days before the Passover Feast. Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived. Lazarus was the one Jesus had raised from the dead.A dinner was given at Bethany to honor Jesus. Martha served the food. Lazarus was among the people at the table with Jesus.Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard. It was an expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the sweet smell of the perfume.But Judas Iscariot didn’t like what Mary did. He was one of Jesus’ disciples. Later he was going to hand Jesus over to his enemies. Judas said,“ Why wasn’t this perfume sold? Why wasn’t the money given to poor people? It was worth a year’s pay.”He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor. He said it because he was a thief. Judas was in charge of the money bag. He used to help himself to what was in it.“ Leave her alone,” Jesus replied.“ The perfume was meant for the day I am buried.You will always have the poor among you. But you won’t always have me.”

A man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.Mary would later pour perfume on the Lord. She would also wipe Jesus’ feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick in bed.

The next day as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, they were hungry.
