6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
   7 A woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of ointment of great value, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table.
   8 But when the disciples was it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?
   9 For this could have been sold for much and given to the poor.
   10 But Jesus, knowing it, said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a noble deed to Me.
   11 For the poor you have with you always, but you do not always have Me.
   12 For in pouring out this ointment on My body, she has done it for My burial.
   13 Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told as a memorial of her.

— Matthew 26:6-13
