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:
