John 12:2-8

Geneva(i) 2 There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him. 3 Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly, and anoynted Iesus feete, and wiped his feete with her heare, and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment. 4 Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him: 5 Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore? 6 Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen. 7 Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it. 8 For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.
