‏ Mark 14:6-8

Summary for Mark 14:6-8: 14:6-8 ^a Jesus defended the woman’s action. That the disciples would always have the poor among them did not minimize Jesus’ concern for the poor. The opportunity to minister directly to Jesus was limited. Only hours remained! She chose the best thing she could do with her perfume.
14:8 ^b Jesus interprets the woman’s action. She had anointed his body in preparation for his burial. Whether the woman was consciously motivated by Jesus’ imminent death is unclear; her loving act served the purpose Jesus assigned it.
