ROMAN PERFUME JAR


This perfume jar has restored rim from another perfume jar.
Matthew 26:6-13
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper,  [7] a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. [8] When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.  [9] "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."  [10] Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.  [11] The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.  [12] When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.  [13] I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."
