6 And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the  leper,
         
                                
                        7 there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of  ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is  reclining (at meat).
         
                                
                        8 And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased,  saying, `To what purpose [is] this waste?
         
                                
                        9 for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given  to the poor.`
         
                                
                        10 And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give  trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;
         
                                
                        11 for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not  always;
         
                                
                        12 for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my  burial she did [it].
