Jesus came to Mary’s defense when she was criticized for breaking a priceless jar of ointment on the feet of Jesus and unbinding her hair to dry them. From John 12, Alistair Begg helps us understand the extravagant nature of Mary’s worship in contrast to the underlying greed of Judas and the murderous jealousy of the chief priests.
