John 12:1-3

¹Six days before Passover, Jesus entered Bethany where Lazarus, so recently raised from the dead, was living.

²Lazarus and his sisters invited Jesus to dinner at their home. Martha served. Lazarus was one of those sitting at the table with them.

³Mary came in with a jar of very expensive aromatic oils, anointed and massaged Jesus'' feet, and then wiped them with her hair. The fragrance of the oils filled the house.a
