ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ A Woman Anoints Jesus
While Jesus was in Bethany sitting at the table in the home of Simon the leper, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head. ⁴ Irritated, some who were there asked one another, “Why was the perfume wasted like this? ⁵ This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute.” So they got extremely angry with her.
⁶ But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me, ⁷ because you’ll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won’t always have me. ⁸ She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.
