asv - Matthew:26:6-13

asv@Matthew:26:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

asv@Matthew:26:7 @there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.

asv@Matthew:26:8 @But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

asv@Matthew:26:9 @For this [ointment] might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

asv@Matthew:26:10 @But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

asv@Matthew:26:11 @For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

asv@Matthew:26:12 @For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

asv@Matthew:26:13 @Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
