8. His followers saw the woman do this and were upset. They asked, “Why waste that perfume?
9. It could be sold for a great deal of money, and the money could be given to the poor.”
10. But Jesus knew what happened. He said, “Why are you troubling this woman? She did a very beautiful thing for me.
11. You will always have the poor with you. But you will not always have me.
12. This woman poured perfume on my body to prepare me for burial.
13. I tell you the truth. The Good News will be told to people in all the world. And in every place where it is preached, what this woman has done will be told. And people will remember her.”
