Mark 14:1-6

1. 1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

2. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

3. 3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

4. 4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

5. 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

6. 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
