Lazarus and his sisters hosted a dinner for him. Martha served and Lazarus was among those who joined him at the table. Then Mary took an extraordinary amount, almost three-quarters of a pound, of very expensive perfume made of pure nard. She anointed Jesus\\u2019 feet with it, then wiped his feet dry with her hair. The house was filled with the aroma of the perfume. Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), complained, \\u201cThis perfume was worth a year\\u2019s wages! Why wasn\\u2019t it sold and the money given to the poor?\\u201d (He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would take what was in it.)\\nThen Jesus said, \\u201cLeave her alone. This perfume was to be used in preparation for my burial, and this is how she has used it. You will always have the poor among you, but you won\\u2019t always have me.\\u201d\\nPhoto by\\xa0Sharon McCutcheon\\nThe post Extraordinary \\u2013 John 12:1-8 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
