Mark 14:3-5

Modern English Version

The Anointing at Bethany^(A)

³ While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at supper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured the ointment on His head.

⁴ There were some with indignation within themselves, saying, “Why was this ointment wasted? ⁵ It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii^[a] and given to the poor.” And they grumbled against her.
