Matthew 26:12

for her pouring this ointment on my body, is preparative to my burial.

she has done what she could: she has perfum'd my body previously to my burial.

When the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, after having bought aromatic drugs to embalm him,

then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.

then said Jesus, let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.

Nicodemus, who formerly went to Jesus by night, came likewise and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
