--Matthew-- 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) --Mark-- And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head. (14:3) And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? (14:4) For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. (14:5) And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. (14:6) For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. (14:7) She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. (14:8) Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. (14:9) --John-- (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) (11:2) 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) |
