Matthew:26:6-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when Jesus was in Bethany ,
in the house of Simon the leper ,
*
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment ,
and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table .
*
But when his disciples saw this ,
they were indignant ,
saying , "
Why this waste ?
*
For this ointment might have been sold for much ,
and given to the poor ."
*
However ,
knowing this ,
Jesus said to them , "
Why do you trouble the woman ?
Because she has done a good work for me .
*
For you always have the poor with you ;
but you don '
t always have me .
*
For in pouring this ointment on my body ,
she did it to prepare me for burial .
*
Most certainly I tell you ,
wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world ,
what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her ."
