Then Mary took a pound of pure nard, very precious perfume, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume from pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
