This poignant scene takes place just six days before Passover, as Jesus dines with his recently resurrected friend Lazarus in Bethany. In this intimate setting, Mary performs an extraordinary act of devotion by anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume worth a year's wages and wiping them with her hair. Her lavish sacrifice stands in stark contrast to Judas's cynical objection about wasting resources that could have helped the poor—a concern John reveals as insincere, stemming from Judas's greed rather than compassion.
