Matthew 26:7-13

7a woman came up to Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive oil. And she poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table.

8But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

9It could have been sold for a lot, and the money given to the poor!”

10But Yeshua, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for this woman? She’s done Me a mitzvah.

11You always have the poor with you, but you won’t always have Me.

12For when she poured this oil on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.

13Amen, I tell you, wherever this Good News is proclaimed in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
