Matthew 26:6-13 - Jesus' Anointing At Bethany

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.

³ And, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down the perfume , upon his head. ⁴ But there were some much displeased among themselves - To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened? ⁵ For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with her.

⁶ But, Jesus, said - Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me; ⁷ For, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, at any timedo well! But, me, not, always, have ye. ⁸ What she had, she used, - She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial; ⁹ And, verily, say unto you - Wheresoever the glad-message shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world, - also what she did, will be told for a memorial of her.
