Markos 14:4 In-Context

2 For they were saying, Not at the Chag, for fear that a riot break out among the am haaretz.

3 And he was in Beit-Anyah at the bais of Shimon the leper, reclining at tish, and an isha (woman) came, having an alabaster flask of costly perfume, pure nard, and having broken open the alabaster flask, she poured [it on] the head of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

4 Now some were there who in ka’as (anger) said to one another, For what reason has this waste of ointment taken place?

5 For this was able to be sold for more than three hundred denarii and to be given to the aniyim. And they were reproaching her.

6 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Leave her alone. Why are you bringing about difficulty for the isha? Has she not performed one of the Gemilut Chasadim on me?
