Matthew 26:7-12

7a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume and she poured it on Jesus’ head as He reclined at the table.

8But when the disciples saw it they were indignant and angry, saying, “Why all this waste [of money]?

9For this perfume might have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10But Jesus, aware [of the malice] of this [remark], said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a good thing to Me.

11For you always have the poor with you; but you will not always have Me.

12When she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.
