Mark 14:6-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ But Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. ⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me. ⁸ She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial. ⁹ Truly I tell you, wherever the good news^[a] is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.’
