Why Do You Trouble Her?

By Lea Peters

 “But Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.’” (Mark 14:6 ESV)

I find this verse in the account of the woman anointing Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume interesting. There was a lot going on at this time in Jesus’ ministry. He knew that His life was coming to an end, and He was trying to prepare His followers for what was going to happen.
