Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ When he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, euen as he sate at meate ther came a woman hauynge an alabaster boxe of oyntment called narde, that was pure & costly, and she brake the boxe and powred it on hys head. ⁴ And there were some that were not content in them selues, and sayd: what neded this waste of oyntment? ⁵ For it myght haue bene solde for more then thre hundred pence, & bene geuen vnto the poore. And they grudged agaynste her. ⁶ And Iesus sayde: let her be in reste, why troubled ye her? she hath done a good worke on me. ⁷ For ye shall haue poore men with you alwayes, & whensoeuer ye wyll, ye maye do them good, but me ye shal not haue alwayes. ⁸ She hath done that she coulde: she came afore hande to anoynte my body to hys buryenge warde.
