6 When Iesus was in Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came vnto him a woman, hauing an Alabaster boxe of precious oyntment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at the boorde. 8 But when his disciples sawe it, they had indignation, saying: to what purpose is this waste? 9 This oyntment might haue ben well solde, and geuen to the poore. 10 When Iesus vnderstode that, he saide vnto them: Why trouble ye the woma? for she hath wrought a good worke vppon me. 11 For ye haue the poore alwayes with you: but me shall ye not haue alwayes. 12 For in that she hath cast this oyntment on my body, she dyd it to bury me. 13 Ueryly I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospell shalbe preached in the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be tolde for a memoriall of her.
