2 dicebant enim non in die festo ne forte tumultus fieret populi

3 et cum esset Bethaniae in domo Simonis leprosi et recumberet venit mulier habens alabastrum unguenti nardi spicati pretiosi et fracto alabastro effudit super caput eius

4 erant autem quidam indigne ferentes intra semet ipsos et dicentes ut quid perditio ista unguenti facta est

5 poterat enim unguentum istud veniri plus quam trecentis denariis et dari pauperibus et fremebant in eam
