Explain why the anointing at Bethany might have led to conflict.
· Jesus eats with outcasts and accepts woman at the table
èTeaches Christians that they shouldn’t separate themselves from outcasts and emphasises community cohesion
· V.6, 7: “She has done a fine and beautiful thing for me.”, “You will always have the poor…but you will not always have me.”
èSome see this as justifying ornate Churches that give glory to God as they house the Blessed Sacrament.
èOthers might argue that the money should be spent on the poor, not Churches. What Jesus says only refer to this action.
