ATD: "against the day"

[pynchonoid]

If it's a Biblical reference, it'd be from the King
James Version,I expect, and this is a good one, the
old man back from the dead:

The Gospel according to
St. John
12

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Mt. 26.6-13 · Mk. 14.3-9
1 	Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom
he raised from the dead.
2 	There they made him a supper; and Martha served:
but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with
him.
3 	Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped
his feet with her hair: Lk. 7.37, 38 and the house was
filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 	Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscar'i-ot,
Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 	Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
pence, and given to the poor?
6 	This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but
because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what
was put therein.
7 	Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of
my burying hath she kept this.
8 	For the poor always ye have with you; Deut. 15.11
but me ye have not always.
