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.

But there were some much displeased among themselves - To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?

For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with her.

But, Jesus, said - Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;

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.

What she had, she used, - She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;

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.
