Mark 14:5 CPDV

³  And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was reclining to eat, a woman arrived having an alabaster container of ointment, of precious spikenard. And breaking open the alabaster container, she poured it over his head.

⁴  But there were some who became indignant within themselves and who were saying: 'What is the reason for this waste of the ointment?

⁵  For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and been given to the poor.' And they murmured against her.

⁶  But Jesus said: 'Permit her. What is the reason that you trouble her? She has done a good deed for me.

⁷  For the poor, you have with you always. And whenever you wish, you are able to do good to them. But you do not have me always.
