Matthew 26:9-12

9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

11 The poor you will always have with you,^[a] but you will not always have me.

12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
