Matthew 26:6-13
And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying,“ Why this waste?For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them,“ Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,“ Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.But Jesus said,“ Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
