When Jesus perceived this, He said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon Me.
11
For ye have the poor always with you, but Me ye have not always.
12
For in that she hath poured this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.
13
Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, which this woman hath done, be told as a memorial of her."

19
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the Passover.
