When Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board. When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying, "What needed this waste? read more.
This ointment might have been well sold, and given to the poor." When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always. And in that she casted this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me, withal. Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be told for a memorial of her."

Then Jesus, six days before Easter, came to Bethany: where Lazarus which was dead was, whom Jesus raised from death. There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment called nard, perfect and precious, and anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and all the house was filled of the savour of the ointment. read more.
Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which afterward betrayed him, "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?" This said he, not that he cared for the poor: but because he was a thief, and kept the bag, and bare that which was given. Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it. The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have." Much people of the Jews had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also whom he raised from death.

Dear children, yet a little while am I with you. Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, 'Whither I go, thither can ye not come.' Also to you say I now.



Then said Jesus again unto them, "I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins. Whither I go thither can ye not come."

Then said Jesus unto them, "Yet am I a little while with you, and then go I unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: And where I am, thither can ye not come."

The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have."

When he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, even as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, called nard, that was pure and costly, and she brake the box and poured it on his head. And there were some that were not content in themselves, and said, "What needed this waste of ointment? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and been given unto the poor." And they grudged against her. read more.
And Jesus said, "Let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me. For ye shall have poor with you always: and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye shall not have always. She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her."
