MAT 26:6–13, engwebp
⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
⁸But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
¹⁰However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
¹¹For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
¹²For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
¹³Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”

³While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
⁴But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
⁵For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
⁶But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
⁷For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
⁸She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
⁹Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
