Matthew 26:6-13 - Jesus Anointed at Bethany

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

(Matthew 26:6-13)

6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why trouble you the woman? for she has worked a good work on me. 11For you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always. 12For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.
