The Anointing at Bethany
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, Matt. 21:17; John 11:1, 43where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 Matt. 26:6; Mark 14:3; Luke 10:38–41There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then Luke 10:38, 39; John 11:2Mary took a pound of very costly oil of Song 1:12spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
