Flavius Artemis the centurion page 5 by ric gustafson
As Flavius and another centurion were walking to one of the Sanhedrin council meetings, the centurion told Flavius a story. In a village named Bethany, a man named Simon was healed of leprosy. He was healed by a Rabbi from Galilee. The Rabbi's name was Jesus. Later, this healed man has a dinner party to thank this Jesus.
This Jesus arrived with his friends. Things were going ok until a woman came in carrying a very expensive alabaster flask. She walked up to the Rabbi. She opened the flask. She poured the oil and ointment on the Rabbi's head and feet. Then the woman knelt down and wiped the perfume with her hair.
The treasurer of the Rabbi's group complained about the waste of the perfume and how much they could have gotten for it.
This Jesus helped the woman up and praised her. He had compassion for her. He told those there in attendance that what she did was prepare him for his own burial and that it would be a memorial to her.
