3 And when he was at Bethanye in the house of Symon the leper, and sat at the table, there came a woman, which had a boxe of pure and costly Nardus oyntment. And she brake ye boxe, & poured it vpo his heade. 4 Then were there some, yt disdayned and sayde: Where to serueth this waist? 5 This oyntment might haue bene solde for more then thre hundreth pens, & bene geue to ye poore. And they grudged agaynst her. 6 But Iesus sayde: let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good worke vpo me. 7 Ye haue allwaye the poore with you, and wha so euer ye wil, ye maye do the good: but me haue ye not allwaie. 8 She hath done what she coulde, she is come before, to anoynte my body for my buriall. 9 Verely I saye vnto you: Where so euer this gospell shalbe preached in all the worlde, there shal this also that she hath now done, be tolde for a remembraunce of her.
