John 12:1-8

BBE(i) 1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead. 2 So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table. 3 Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot who was to give him up, said, 5 Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor? 6 He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it. 7 Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death. 8 The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
