Mark 14:3-9

Revised Geneva Translation

³ And when He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at table, there came a woman with a box of ointment (of spikenard, very costly). And she broke the box and poured it on His head.

⁴ Therefore some whispered angrily among themselves, and said, “To what end is this waste of ointment?

⁵ “For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denari, and the money given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.

⁶ But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble yourselves with her? She has done a good work for Me.

⁷ “For you have the poor with you always. And when you will you may do them good. But Me you shall not have always.

⁸ “She has done what she could. She came beforehand to anoint My body for the burying.

⁹ “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done, shall be spoken of in remembrance of her.”
