And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious; and she broke the box, and poured [it] on his head.
4
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7
For ye have the poor with you always, and whenever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8
She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9
Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her.
10
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.
11
And when they heard [it], they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?
13
And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
