Mark 14:3-9
Jesus Anointed at Bethany

3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head.

3:

4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

4:

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

5:

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

6:

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

7:

8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

8:

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

9:
