LITV(i)
3 And He being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He reclined, a woman came, having an alabaster vial of pure, costly ointment of nard. And breaking the alabaster vial, she poured it down His head.
4 And some were being indignant to themselves, and saying, To what has this waste of the ointment occurred?
5 For this could be sold for over three hundred denarii, and to be given to the poor. And they were incensed with her.
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone. Why do you cause her troubles? She worked a good work toward Me.
7 For you have the poor with you always, and when you wish, you can do well toward them. But you do not have Me always.
8 What this one held, she did. She took beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.
9 Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in all the world, what this one did will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.
