Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. <span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index= "3">3 </span>Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. <span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="5">4 </span>But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, <span class= "notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="7">5 </span>“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” <span class= "notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="9">6 </span>He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. <span class= "notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="11">7 </span>Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. <span class="notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="13">8 </span>For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>🌟 BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER:</strong></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href= "https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/support">https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/support</a> (NOT tax-decuctable)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>🔥 DONATE ONE-TIME: </strong><a href= "https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/donate">https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/donate</a> (NOT tax-decuctable)</span></p> <p> </p>
