5 But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.”
6 Now while Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came up to him holding an alabaster flask of very expensive perfumed oil, and poured it out on his head while he was reclining at table.
8 And when the disciples saw it they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!”
10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.
11 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.
