6. And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7. there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat).
8. And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased, saying, `To what purpose [is] this waste?
9. for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.'
10. And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;
11. for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;
12. for she having put this ointment on my body--for my burial she did [it].
