Mark 14:3-9

3WhileG2532 Jesus wasG1510 inG1722 BethanyG963 reclining at the tableG846G2621 inG1722 theG3588 homeG3614 of SimonG4613 theG3588 LeperG3015,1 a womanG1135 cameG2064 with an alabaster jarG211 of expensiveG4185 perfumeG3464, made of pureG4101 nardG3487. She broke openG4937 theG3588 jarG211 and poured it onG2708 Jesus’ headG2776.

4SomeG5100 of those presentG1510, howeverG1161, expressed their indignationG23 toG4314 one anotherG1438: “WhyG1519G5101 thisG3778 wasteG684 ofG3588 perfumeG3464? 5It couldG1410 have been soldG4097 for overG1883 three hundredG5145 denariiG12202 andG2532 the money givenG1325 to theG3588 poorG4434.” AndG2532 they scoldedG1690 herG846.

6ButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036, “Leave her aloneG863G846; whyG5101 are you botheringG3930G2873 herG846? She has doneG2038 a beautifulG2570 deedG2041 toG1722 MeG1473. 7TheG3588 poorG4434 you will always haveG3842G2192 withG3326 youG1438,3 andG2532 you canG1410 helpG4160G2095 themG846 wheneverG3752 you wantG2309. ButG1161 you will notG3756 alwaysG3842 haveG2192 MeG1473. 8She has doneG4160 whatG3739 she couldG2192 to anointG3462 MyG1473 bodyG4983 in advanceG4301 ofG1519 My burialG1780. 9AndG1161 trulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, whereverG3699G1437 theG3588 gospelG2098 is preachedG2784 inG1519 allG3650 theG3588 worldG2889, whatG3739 she has doneG4160 will also be toldG2532G2980 inG1519 memoryG3422 of herG846.”
