John 12:4 in context

  1. 2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
  2. 3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
  3. 4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
  4. 5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”
  5. 6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
