3 And when he was at Bethanye in the house of Symon the leper, and sat at the table, there came a woman, which had a boxe of pure and costly Nardus oyntment. And she brake ye boxe, & poured it vpo his heade.
4 Then were there some, yt disdayned and sayde: Where to serueth this waist?
5 This oyntment might haue bene solde for more then thre hundreth pens, & bene geue to ye poore. And they grudged agaynst her.
6 But Iesus sayde: let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good worke vpo me.
7 Ye haue allwaye the poore with you, and wha so euer ye wil, ye maye do the good: but me haue ye not allwaie.
8 She hath done what she coulde, she is come before, to anoynte my body for my buriall.
