Mark 14:1-11 — Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Mark.14.1-11
1Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him. 2For they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.” 3And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, very costly. Breaking the alabaster flask, she poured it over his head. 4But there were some who were indignant among themselves: "Why has this waste of the perfume happened? 5For this perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they were scolding her. 6But Jesus said, "Leave her alone; why do you cause her trouble? She has done a beautiful work for me. 7For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want you can do good to them, but you do not always have me. 8She did what she could; she anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of in memory of her." 10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests in order to hand him over to them. 11And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he was seeking how to hand him over at an opportune time.
