Jesus Anointed at Bethany

3 b And while he was at c Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 1 as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii 2 and d given to the poor." And they e scolded her. 6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For f you always have the poor with you, and whenever g you want, you can do good for them. But h you will not always have me. 8 i She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand j for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever k the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told l in memory of her."
