Rotherham(i)
6 But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster–jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
8 And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying––To what end, this loss?
9 For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
10 But Jesus, taking note, said unto them––Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
11 For, always, the destitute, have ye with you,––but, me, not always, have ye;
12 For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
13 Verily, I say unto you––Wheresoever this glad–message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
