Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon who had been a leper, there came to him a woman with an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, while he was at table. one of his disciples seeing this, with indignation said, to what purpose is this waste? read more.
for this could have been sold for a great price, which might have been given to the poor. Jesus perceiving this, said to them, why do you trouble the woman? for what she has done is out of regard to me. ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always. for her pouring this ointment on my body, is preparative to my burial. I declare unto you, in whatever quarter of the world, this part of the gospel-history shall be related, what this woman has now done shall be there mentioned to her praise.

Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and raised to life again. there a supper was provided for him; Martha was in waiting: but Lazarus was one of the guests that sat at table with him. but Mary taking a pound of the oil of spikenard which was very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair: so that the house was filled with the odour of the perfume. read more.
whereupon one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray him, said, why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, to be given to the poor? this he said, not out of any concern for the poor; but because being purse-bearer he used to pilfer what was in bank. then said Jesus, let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this. the poor you will always have with you; but me you will not always have. a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

my dear children, I am with you but for a little while. you shall seek me: but as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, "where I am going you cannot come."


Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father.

Jesus therefore repeated what he had said, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your incredulity, so that whither I go, ye cannot come."

then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me. ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come.

the poor you will always have with you; but me you will not always have.

now being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, there came a woman with a viol full of the perfume of spikenard, which was very costly; and she opened the viol, and poured it upon his head. but some had a secret indignation, and said, why must the perfume be so wasted? for we could have sold it for above two hundred denarys, and given them to the poor: and they inveighed against her. read more.
but Jesus said, let her alone, why do you disquiet her? it is commendable, what she has done out of respect to me. the poor you have always with you, and you may relieve them whenever you please: but me you will not always have. she has done what she could: she has perfum'd my body previously to my burial. I declare unto you, in whatever quarter of the world this part of the gospel-history shall be related, this action of hers shall be mention'd to her praise.
