Mark 14:1-9

11NowG1161 2the PassoverG3957 and UnleavenedG106 Bread were twoG1417 daysG2250 awayG3326; and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 3were seekingG2212 howG4459 to seizeG2902 Him by stealthG1388 and killG615 Him; 2for they were sayingG3004, “Not duringG1722 the festivalG1859, otherwiseG3379 there might be a riotG2351 of the peopleG2992.”

34While He was in 5BethanyG963 at the homeG3614 of SimonG4613 the leperG3015, and recliningG2621 at the table, there cameG2064 a womanG1135 with an alabasterG211 vialG211 of veryG4185 6costlyG4185 perfumeG3464 of pureG4101 7nardG3487; and she brokeG4937 the vialG211 and pouredG2708 it overG2708 His headG2776. 4But someG5100 were indignantlyG23 remarking to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “WhyG1519G5101 has thisG3778 perfumeG3464 beenG1096 wastedG684? 5For thisG3778 perfumeG3464 mightG1410 have been soldG4097 for overG1883 threeG5145 hundredG5145 8denariiG1220, and the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434.” And they were scoldingG1690 her. 6But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “LetG863 her aloneG863; whyG5101 do you botherG2873G3930 her? She has doneG2038 a goodG2570 deedG2041 to Me. 7For you alwaysG3842 haveG2192 9the poorG4434 with you, and wheneverG3752 you wishG2309 you canG1410 doG4160 goodG2095 to them; but you do not alwaysG3842 haveG2192 Me. 8She has doneG4160 whatG3739 she couldG2192; 10she has anointedG3462 My bodyG4983 beforehandG4301 for the burialG1780. 9TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 11whereverG3699G1437 the gospelG2098 is preachedG2784 in the wholeG3650 worldG2889, whatG3588 thisG3778 womanG3778 has doneG4160 will alsoG2532 be spokenG2980 of in memoryG3422 of her.”
