Noyes(i)
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 there came to him a woman having an alabaster bottle of very costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.
8 But the disciples seeing it, were much displeased, saying, To what purpose is this waste?.
9 For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 And Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? For she hath done a good deed to me.
11 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For she, in pouring this ointment on my body, hath done it to prepare me for burial.
13 Truly do I say to you, Wherever these glad tidings shall be published in the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her.
