*
Now when Jesus was at Bethany ,
in the house of Simon the leper ,
*
there came to him a woman having an alabaster bottle of very costly ointment ,
and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table .
*
But the disciples seeing it ,
were much displeased ,
saying ,
To what purpose is this waste ?.
*
For this might have been sold for much ,
and given to the poor .
*
And Jesus ,
perceiving it ,
said to them ,
Why do ye trouble the woman ?
For she hath done a good deed to me .
*
For the poor ye have always with you ;
but me ye have not always .
*
For she ,
in pouring this ointment on my body ,
hath done it to prepare me for burial .
*
Truly do I say to you ,
Wherever these glad tidings shall be published in the whole world ,
this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her .
