--Matthew-- Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, (26:6) 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]. (26:7) But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste? (26:8) For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. (26:9) When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. (26:10) For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. (26:11) For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial. (26:12) 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. (26:13) --Luke-- And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (10:39) --John-- Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. (12:3) Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], which should betray him, (12:4) Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? (12:5) This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. (12:6) Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. (12:7) For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. (12:8) |
