the story of Martha page 27 by ric gustafson
Mary and Martha sat at a table as they watched the two Pharisees walk in. They walked over and assumed that they would be occupying the best seats at the table. Martha noticed that Jesus and Lazarus were sitting in those seats.
Simon's wife and daughter in law had prepared lamb and lentil stew, bread, fruit, fig cakes and served wine.
After the meal was over and the men were talking to themselves, Mary quietly walked in with an alabaster flask. It was spikenard left over from her brother's anointing. All of a sudden, she poured the costly liquid over the feet of Jesus.
