³ While^(A) he was in Bethany^(B) at the house of Simon the leper,^[a](C) as he was reclining at the table,^(D) a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head.^(E)

² Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair,^(A) and it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
