:00:04
Six days before the Passover...
:00:07
Jesus went to Bethany,
the home of Lazarus...

:00:10
the man he had raised from death.
:00:22
They prepared a dinner for him there,
which Martha helped serve.

:00:29
Lazarus was one of those
who were sitting at the table with Jesus.

:00:41
Then Mary took a whole pint
of a very expensive perfume...

:00:45
made of pure nard...
:00:50
poured it on Jesus' feet...
:00:55
and wiped them with her hair.
:00:59
The sweet smell of the perfume
filled the whole house.

:01:07
One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot...
:01:10
the one who was going to betray him, said:
:01:13
Why wasn't this perfume sold...
:01:18
for 300 silver coins...
:01:23
and the money...
:01:25
given to the poor?
:01:27
He said this not because
he cared about the poor...

:01:30
but because he was a thief.
:01:32
He carried the money bag
and would help himself from it.

:01:36
Leave her alone.
:01:38
Let her keep what she has
for the day of my burial.

:01:44
You will always have poor people with you...
:01:47
but you will not always have me.
