John 12:3, Berean Standard Bible

Mary, sister of Lazarus and Martha, anoints Jesus at a dinner in Bethany six days before Passover, shortly after her brother was raised from the dead. John names the perfume as pure nard, an imported oil sealed in a jar; a pint was worth about three hundred denarii, nearly a year's wages for a laborer.
