Bible Verses About Bethany

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.

But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
