Context of Mark 14:6
4And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment? 5for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her. But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me; 7for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always. 8What she could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.
