John 12:3 (MSG) Mary came in with a jar of very expensive
aromatic oils, anointed and massaged Jesus' feet, and then wiped them
with her hair. The fragrance of the oils filled the house.
WORD STUDY
Pound or Pint:
Probably about 0.5 liter. [NIV SB 2008]
12 oz (.7 lit). [Ryrie SB]
About 11 1/2 oz. [SDA Bible Commentary]
Nard Or Ointment Of Spikenard:
The name of both a plant and the fragrant oil it yielded. Since
it was very expensive, Mary's act of devotion was costly. [NIV SB
2008]
A precious spice imported from North India, was sweet, red, and
smelled like gladiola perfume. Twelve ounces of nard cost a year's wages
(12:5). [NLT SB]

In John 12:1-11, Mary poured a costly perfume made of pure nard on Jesus' feet. Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' disciples, protested, saying that the perfume could have been sold for a year's wages and the money given to the poor.

∙ 14y agoThis was 'perfumed OIL" and was worth nearly a year's wages.
(John 12:3) "Mary, therefore, took a pound of perfumed oil, genuine nard, very costly, and she greased the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet dry with her hair. The house became filled with the scent of the perfumed oil." . . ..."This perfumed oil could have been sold for upward of three hundred de‧nar′i‧i" . . .(Mark 14:3-6)
(A Denarius is a day's wage...)

Are there any negative reports on Ames International school of Ministry and Ames Christian University in Fort Meyer Florida?
Both schools are wonderful and offer some of the lowest prices around. The bible college offers free and low-cost accredited courses. And the universities courses are fairly priced.There program is geared towards training for ministry so they do not offer secular courses therefore they also do not have secular accreditation approved by the DOE. As christianschools do not have to be approved by the DOE.This means that a bible degree from them will not transfer at a secular school at all or with christian schools with secular accreditation. However even if you take biblical courses from a DOE approved bible college and pay allot more money they also will not transfer well at a secular school. Also a biblical degree even a doctorate will not allow you to say teach at a public school or hold a job requiring an AA degree as biblical degree is just not the same as a liberal Arts degree which is what most secular schools or jobs require. So in my thinking unless you are being considered for a ministry job for some national ministry requiring a DOE approved bible degree why pay the high prices. The folks at Ames were missionaries and are not about the money they are about training people for the Kingdom of God.
