Matthew 26:6-13

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ a woman came to Him with a box of very costly ointment and poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

⁸ And when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

⁹ “For this ointment might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.”

¹⁰ And Jesus, knowing it, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.

¹¹ “For you have the poor with you always. But Me you shall not have always.

¹² “For in pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.

¹³ “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, this that she has done shall also be spoken of, as a memorial of her.”
