Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Jesus was in Bethany, at the house of Simon the leper, and as he was at table, a woman came in, with an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, very expensive; she broke the flask and poured the perfume on his head. ⁴ But there were some who said indignantly to themselves, "What was the use of wasting the perfume like that? ⁵ It might have been sold for more than sixty dollars, and the money have been given to the poor." ⁶ And they grumbled at her. But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you bother her? It is a fine thing that she has done to me. ⁷ For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you please you can do for them, but you will not always have me. ⁸ She has done all she could; she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial.
