Matthew 26:7-12

7a woman approached him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8When the disciples saw it, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.

9“This might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor.”

10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for me.

11You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.

12By pouring this perfume on my body, she has prepared me for burial.
