Matthew:26:6-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jesus being in Bethany ,
in Simon the leper '
s house ,
*
a woman came to Him having an alabaster vial of ointment ,
very precious .
And she poured it on His head as He reclined .
*
But seeing ,
His disciples were indignant ,
saying ,
For what is this waste ?
*
For this ointment could have been sold for much and be given to the poor .
*
But knowing ,
Jesus said to them ,
Why do you cause trouble to the woman ?
For she worked a good work toward Me .
*
For you always have the poor with you ,
but you do not always have Me .
*
For in putting this ointment on My body ,
she did it in order to bury Me .
*
Truly I say to you ,
Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in all the world ,
what she did will be spoken of as a memorial of her .
