In an act of worship, Mary pours a pint of expensive perfume, wiping His feet with her hair. She poured perfume worth a whole year’s wages on His feet to humble herself and honor Him, yet not all of the disciples saw it that way. They were shocked at the radicalness of her actions, but the most vocal of all was Judas Iscariot. He protested that she should have sold the perfume and given the money to the poor, but in reality he was hiding behind false words to try to get what he wanted. Judas was a thief, and where the other disciples had merely been shocked, he had been dismayed at the thought of the money HE could have gained should she have given them the money.
