14:3-9
When he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper (and) reclining, a woman came in. She had an alabaster phial of ointment
nard. It was pure and costly. Breaking the phial she poured the ointment over his (Jesus') head.
Now there were
some there who were angry within themselves. "Why such a waste of ointment? Couldn't this ointment be sold for over three hundred denarii and be given
to the poor?" And they were indignant with her.
But Jesus said. "Leave her alone. Why do you cause her trouble? She has done a good work for
me. The poor you always have with you and whenever you wish you can do good to them. But you do not always have me. She did what she was able. She has
anointed my body beforehand for the burial. Truly I tell you that wherever the gospel is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman did will be re-told
as a memorial of her."
