Jesus was Anointed by Mary Before He was Crucified

Picture
Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before Passover to eat a dinner prepared in his honor by Martha and Mary anointed his feet with an expensive perfume wiped the perfume unto his feet  with her hair. Jesus was anointed in Bethany by Mary in preparation for his death.

Ironically the one disciple who betrayed Jesus and who was also the one who carried the bag of money belonging to Jesus and the disciples was the only one who had an objection to Mary anointing Jesus Christ's feet with her hair and his objection was simply because he felt it was a waste of money because the ointment was very expensive. 
  • Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him. John 12:4
  • Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? John 12:5
  • This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. John 12:6
