Healing of a Man on the Sabbath
1One Sabbath, gwhen he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were hwatching him carefully.John 2:2
2Jesus also was invited to the wedding with ihis disciples.John 12:2-8
2So they gave a dinner for him there. jMartha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. 3 kMary therefore took a pound ▼▼Greek litra; a litra (or Roman pound) was equal to about 11 1/2 ounces or 327 grams
of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and ngiven to the poor?” 6He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and ohaving charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it ▼▼Or Leave her alone; she intended to keep it
for the day of my burial. 8For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.” Romans 15:2
2 qLet each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
