6. And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
7. There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.
8. And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
9. For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10. And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
