Matthew 26:6-13
Jesus Anointed at Bethany

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

6:

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at meat].

7:

8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?

8:

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

9:

10 When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

10:

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

11:

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial.

12:

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

13:
