* Now when Jesus was in Bethany , in the house of Simon the leper , * There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment , and poured it on his head , as he sat at meat . * But when his disciples saw it , they had indignation , saying , To what purpose is this waste ? * For this ointment might have been sold for much , and given to the poor . * When Jesus understood it , he said unto them , Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me . * For ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always . * For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body , she did it for my burial . * Verily I say unto you , Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world , there shall also this , that this woman hath done , be told for a memorial of her .
