6. And when יהושע was in Bĕyth Anyah at the house of Shim‛on the leper,
7. a woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.
8. And when His taught ones saw it, they were much displeased saying, “To what purpose is this waste?

10. However, when יהושע noticed it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work toward Me.
11. “For you always have the poor with you, but Me you do not have always.
12. “For in pouring this perfume on My body, she did it for My burial.
13. “Truly, I say to you, wherever this Good News is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman has done shall be spoken of also, to her remembrance.”

16. And from then on he was seeking an occasion to deliver Him up.
