* But Jesus being in Bethany , in Simon the leper 's house , * a woman , having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment , came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table . * But the disciples seeing it became indignant , saying , To what end [was ] this waste ? * for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor . * But Jesus knowing [it ] said to them , Why do ye trouble the woman ? for she has wrought a good work toward me . * For ye have the poor always with you , but me ye have not always . * For in pouring out this ointment on my body , she has done it for my burying . * Verily I say to you , Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world , that also which this [woman ] has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her .
