In context
2 Basi wakamwandalia chakula cha jioni huko, na Martha akamtumikia, wakati huo Lazaro alikuwa mmoja wapo wa wale walioketi chakulani pamoja na Yesu.
3 Kisha Mariamu akachukua ratli ya manukato yaliyotengenezwa kwa nardo safi, yenye thamani kubwa, akampaka Yesu miguuni, na kumfuta miguu kwa nywele zake; nyumba yote ilijaa harufu ya manukato.
4 Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi wake, ambaye ndiye atakayemsaliti Yesu, akasema,
5 “Kwanini manukato haya yasingeuzwa kwa dinari mia tatu na wakapewa maskini?”
6 Naye aliyasema hayo, si kwa kuwahurumia maskini, bali kwa sababu alikuwa mwizi: yeye ndiye aliyeshika mfuko wa fedha na alikuwa anachukua baadhi ya vilivyowekwa humo kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
7 Yesu alisema, “Mwache aweke alicho nacho kwa ajili ya siku ya maziko yangu.
8 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote; lakini hamtakuwa nami siku zote.”
