John 12:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ [^LThen] Mary brought in a pint [^CGreek litra; about eleven ounces, weighing just under a pound] of very expensive ·perfume [ointment/fragrant oil] made from pure nard. She ·poured the perfume on [anointed; ^Cnot the word for royal or priestly anointing, but for hospitality or care] Jesus’ feet, and then she wiped his feet with her hair. And the ·sweet smell [fragrance] from the perfume filled the whole house.

⁴ Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] who would later ·turn against [betray] him, was there. Judas said, ⁵ “This ·perfume [ointment/fragrant oil] was worth an ·entire year’s wages [^Lthree hundred denarii]. Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor?”
