| Summary: | “6Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. 8But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor. 10But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11For you always have the poor with you; but me you will not always have. 12In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her” (Matt. 26:6–13. Material unique to Matthew is underlined.) |
