A Woman Anoints Jesus
Mark 14:3-9
3
And when hee was in Bethania in the house of Simon the leper, as he sate at table, there came a woman hauing a boxe of oyntment of spikenarde, very costly, and shee brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.
4
Therefore some disdained among themselues, and sayde, To what ende is this waste of oyntment?
5
For it might haue bene sold for more then three hundreth pence, and bene giuen vnto the poore, and they murmured against her.
6
But Iesus saide, Let her alone: why trouble yee her? shee hath wrought a good worke on me.
7
For yee haue the poore with you alwaies, and when yee will yee may doe them good, but me yee shall not haue alwaies.
8
She hath done that she coulde: she came afore hand to anoynt my body to the burying.
9
Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shalbe spoken of in remembrance of her.
