Jesus Anointed at Bethany
3 Meanwhile Jesus was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the house of Simon the leper, and a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment made of pure nard. She broke the alabaster jar and poured the ointment on his head. 6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you causing trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand to prepare me for burial. 9 Truly I say to you, wherever 14:9 this ¦ the ECM† NA SBL TH WHthis gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her."
