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

KJV ⁷ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

KJV ⁸ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

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

KJV ¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

KJV ¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

KJV ¹² For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

KJV ¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
