Mark 14 : 3 - 11
Chapter 14
| 3 | And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.
|
| 4 | But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted?
|
| 5 | For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply.
|
| 6 | But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
|
| 7 | For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.
|
| 8 | She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.
|
| 9 | Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."
|
| 10 | Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them.
|
| 11 | And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
