was Jesus being neglectful of the needs of the poor in mark 14?

Jesus then makes it clear that his death is good
news central to the gospel which will be preached throughout the world. Sin is
the cause of poverty which is only a symptom evil in the world. Jesus knows
himself as the destruction of sin. Therefore the woman's anointing of Jesus
highlights the importance and centrality of his death. By allowing such lavish
treatment of himself in preparation for death, Jesus points to the true hope of the
poor. --jeff white
