6 And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,
7 There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of costly perfumed ointment, and she poured upon the head of him, reclining at table.
8 And his disciples seeing, felt pain, saying, For what this loss?
9 For this perfumed oil could have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor.
10 And Jesus having known, said to them, Why offer ye toils to the woman? for a good work has she worked upon me.
11 For always the poor ye have with you, but me ye have not always.
12 For she, casting this perfumed oil upon my body, did to prepare me for interment,
13 Truly I say to you, Wheresoever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, shall it also be spoken what she did, for a remembrance of her.
