The Anointing at Bethany

Matthew 26:6-13

And when Iesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,

There came vnto him a woman, which had a boxe of very costly oyntment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at the table.

And when his disciples sawe it, they had indignation, saying, What needed this waste?

For this oyntment might haue bene solde for much, and bene giuen to the poore.

And Iesus knowing it, sayde vnto them, Why trouble yee the woman? for shee hath wrought a good woorke vpon me.

For yee haue the poore alwayes with you, but me shall yee not haue alwaies.

For in that shee powred this oyntment on my bodie, shee did it to burie me.

Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall bee preached throughout all the worlde, there shall also this that shee hath done, be spoken of for a memoriall of her.
