JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And he being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leprous, he reclining at table, a woman came having an alabaster box of perfumed oil of persuasive, costly, spikenard;. and having broken the alabaster box, she poured upon his head. ⁴ And there were some displeased in themselves, and saying, For what has been the loss of this perfumed oil? ⁵ For this could have been sold for above three hundred drachmas, and have been given to the poor. And they raged against her. ⁶ And Jesus said, Let her go; why bestow ye weariness upon her? she has wrought a good work upon me. ⁷ For always have ye the poor with you, and when ye wish ye can do them good: and me ye have not always. ⁸ And what she had, she has done: she has undertaken beforehand to perfume my body for the burial.
