9. It could have been sold for a great deal of money and the money given to the poor.”

10. Knowing what had happened, Jesus said, “Why are you troubling this woman? She did an excellent thing for me.

11. You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.

12. This woman poured perfume on my body to prepare me for burial.
