Matthew:26:6-13
rsv@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
rsv@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table.
rsv@Matthew:26:8 @ But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
rsv@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor."
rsv@Matthew:26:10 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.
rsv@Matthew:26:11 @ For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
rsv@Matthew:26:12 @ In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial.
rsv@Matthew:26:13 @ Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."
