Mark 14:3-9

31While He was in 2BethanyG963 at the homeG3614 of SimonG4613 3the LeperG3015, He was recliningG2621 at the table, and a womanG1135 cameG2064 with an alabasterG211 vialG211 of veryG4185 4expensiveG4185 perfumeG3464 of pureG4101 5nardG3487. She brokeG4937 the vialG211 and pouredG2708 the perfume overG2708 His headG2776. 4But there were someG5100 indignantlyG23 remarking to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “WhyG1519G5101 has thisG3778 perfumeG3464 beenG1096 wastedG684? 5For thisG3778 perfumeG3464 couldG1410 have been soldG4097 for overG1883 threeG5145 hundredG5145 6denariiG1220, and the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434.” And they were scoldingG1690 her. 6But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “LeaveG863 her aloneG863! WhyG5101 are you botheringG2873G3930 her? She has doneG2038 a goodG2570 deedG2041 for Me. 7For you alwaysG3842 haveG2192 7the poorG4434 with you, and wheneverG3752 you wantG2309, you canG1410 doG4160 goodG2095 to them; but you do not alwaysG3842 haveG2192 Me. 8She has doneG4160 whatG3739 she couldG2192; 8she has anointedG3462 My bodyG4983 beforehandG4301 for the burialG1780. 9TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 9whereverG3699G1437 the gospelG2098 is preachedG2784 in the entireG3650 worldG2889, whatG3588 thisG3778 womanG3778 has doneG4160 will alsoG2532 be toldG2980 in memoryG3422 of her.”
