February 16 ~ Things in the Bible not really in the Bible…and a few surprises

 

Surprise of the Day  

About a week before Jesus’ crucifixion and death, Mary anointed Jesus with precious oil.  Judas and the other apostles complained the money should have been given to the poor.  Just money from a single flask of oil?

Mark 14:3 & 5

Fact of the Day

At that time in Jewish history, anointing with oil was done to make a person either the high priest or the king.  Both titles had equal powers.  It was the same as crowning someone king.  A single flask of the special oil Mary used to anoint Jesus with the week before his crucifixion and death was worth a year’s wages!
