5 But they said, "Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people."
6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman drew near to him, holding an alabaster box of precious ointment, and she poured it over his head while he was reclining at table.
8 But the disciples, seeing this, were indignant, saying: "What is the purpose of this waste?
9 For this could have been sold for a great deal, so as to be given to the poor."
10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them: "Why are you bothering this woman? For she has done a good deed to me.
11 For the poor you will always have with you. But you will not always have me.
