3 And He being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, He sitting at the table, a woman came having an alabaster box of myrrh of spikenard estimated very valuable; and breaking the alabastar box, she poured it on His head. 4 And there were certain ones indulging in indignation among themselves (and saying), For what was this loss of the myrrh? 5 For this myrrh was able to be sold for more than three hundred denaria, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you give her trouble? she hath wrought a beautiful work in me. 7 For you have the poor always with you, and when you wish, you are able to do them good: but you have not me always. 8 She did what she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body for the burial. 9 Truly I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel may be preached in all the world, that which she did shall indeed be spoken of for a memorial of her.
