John 12:1-7

1 Six days before Pesach, Yeshua came to Beit-Anyah, where El`azar lived, the man Yeshua had raised from the dead;
2 so they gave a dinner there in his honor. Marta served the meal, and El`azar was among those at the table with him.
3 Miryam took a whole pint of pure oil of spikenard, which is very expensive, poured it on Yeshua's feet and wiped his feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of the talmidim, Y'hudah from K'riot, the one who was about to betray him, said,
5 "This perfume is worth a year's wages! Why wasn't it sold and the money given to the poor?"
6 Now he said this not out of concern for the poor, but because he was a thief -- he was in charge of the common purse and used to steal from it.
7 Yeshua said, "Leave her alone! She kept this for the day of my burial.
