Story Time

Jesus was in a town called Bethany.  A man called Simon invited Jesus to have dinner with him.  Jesus accepted his invitation.  Simon invited his friends and his neighbours and made a great feast. (Describe it as a big party).

Jesus came and he was happy to sit among those good-hearted people.  While they were sitting, a woman carrying a jar of expensive perfume entered Simon's house.  She desired to express her love for Jesus, so she poured the perfume on Jesus' head.

(This action was normal in those days, and it was an evidence that the host desired to honour and entertain the guest).

She also poured the perfume on His feet.  The sweet smell of the perfume filled the house.  The woman dried Christ's feet with her hair and kissed them.  Jesus was pleased with her because what she did was good.
