Matthew 26:6-13 ▼

6 And Jesus having been in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper,

7 a woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He is reclining.

8 And the disciples, having seen, became indignant, saying, “For what is this waste?

9 For this could have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

10 And Jesus, having known, said to them, “Why do you? cause trouble to the woman? For she did a beautiful work to Me.

11 For the poor you? always have with you, but not always do you? have Me.

12 For she, in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, did it for My burial.

13 Truly I say to you?, wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, that which she did will also be spoken of, for a memorial of her.”
