SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 14:1-9

1 It was now only two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a trick to arrest Jesus and kill him.

2 But they said, "We must not do it during the feast, because the people might cause a riot."

3 Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, who had a skin disease. While Jesus was eating there, a woman approached him with an alabaster jar filled with very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She open the jar and poured the perfume on Jesus' head.

4 Some who were there became upset and said to each other, "Why waste that perfume?

5 It was worth a full year's work. It could have been sold and the money given to the poor." And they got very angry with the woman.

6 Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you troubling her? She did and excellent thing for me.

7 You will always have the poor with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.

8 This woman did the only thing she could do for me; she poured perfume on my body to prepare me for burial.

9 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached in all the world, what this woman has done will be told, and people will remember her."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
