6. But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,
7. a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.
8. But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end was this waste?
9. for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.
10. But Jesus knowing it said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.
