WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment, which she poured over His head as He reclined at table. ⁸ "Why such waste?" indignantly exclaimed the disciples; ⁹ "for this might have been sold for a considerable sum, and the money given to the poor." ¹⁰ But Jesus heard it, and said to them, "Why are you vexing her? For she has done a most gracious act towards me. ¹¹ The poor you always have with you, but me you have not always. ¹² In pouring this ointment over me, her object was to prepare me for burial. ¹³ In solemn truth I tell you that wherever in the whole world this Good News shall be proclaimed, this deed of hers shall be spoken of in memory of her."
