3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table , a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted ?

5 "For it might have sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. "And they criticized her sharply.

6 But Jesus said, "Let her alone . Why do you trouble her ? She has done a good work for Me.

7 "For you have the poor with you always , and whenever you wish you may do them good ; but Me you do not have always.

8 "She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

9 "Assurdely ,I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as memorial to her. Mark 14:3-9
