In context
3 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.
4 But there were some much displeased among themselves—To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
5 For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with her.
6 But, Jesus, said—Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;
7 For, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, [at any time] do well! But, me, not, always, have ye.
8 What she had, she used,—She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;
9 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.
