In context
5 “But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
9 This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10 Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
