John 12:3-5
3 Then Mary brought a bottle of very expensive oil that had a very nice smell. It was made from pure nard. She poured it over Jesus' feet and then she made his feet dry again with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house.
12:3People made nard from a plant that comes from India. At the time of the Bible, nard was very expensive in Israel. People thought that it was very special because it had a beautiful smell.
4 Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' disciples, was there. He was the man who would sell Jesus to Jesus' enemies. 5 Judas said, ‘We could have sold this oil for 300 coins. That is as much money as someone would get for a year's work. Then we could have given that money to poor people.’
