what she said to herself was this, "If I can only touch his robe, I will recover."

the Son of man has come eating and drinking, and men say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of taxgatherers and sinners!' Nevertheless, Wisdom is vindicated by all that she does."

But Jesus was aware of what they said, and he replied, "Why are you annoying the woman? It is a beautiful thing she has done to me.

In pouring this perfume on my body she has acted in view of my burial.

I tell you truly, wherever this gospel is preached through all the world, men will speak of what she has done in memory of her."

this means my blood, the new covenant-blood, shed for many, to win the remission of their sins.
