7 There came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat [at table].
8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood [it], he said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
