Matthew 26:6-16

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

6 v Now when Jesus was at w Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 1 7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and x given to the poor." 10 But y Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 For z you always have the poor with you, but a you will not always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it b to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever c this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told d in memory of her."
