6And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper,
7a woman came to Him, having an alabaster box of very
precious ointment, and poured it on His head as He reclined.
8But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant,
saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9For this ointment might have been sold for very much and
given to the poor.
10When Jesus understood it, He said to them,
Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work on Me.
11For you have the poor with you always, but you do not
always have Me.
12For in putting ointment on My body, she did it for My
burial.
13Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be
proclaimed in the whole world, that which this woman has done shall be spoken of
also, for a memorial of her. MKJV |
3And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as
He reclined, a woman came with an alabaster vial of pure, costly ointment of
spikenard. And she broke the vial and poured it on His head.
4And some were indignant to themselves, and said, Why was
this waste of the ointment made?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred
denarii, and be given to the poor. And they were incensed with her.
6And Jesus said, Let her alone! Why do
you trouble her? She has done a good work towards Me.
7For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you
desire you may do them good. But you do not have Me always.
8She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to
anoint My body for the burying.
9Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be
proclaimed in all the world, this also that she has done will be spoken of for a
memorial of her. MKJV |
36And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat
with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
box of ointment,
38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to
wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed
his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he
spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who
and what manner of woman this is that touched him: for she is a sinner.
44And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon,
See this woman? I entered into your house, you gave Me no water
for My feet: but she has washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs
of her head.
45You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time
I came in has not ceased to kiss My feet.
46My head with oil you did not anoint: but this
woman hath anointed My feet with ointment.
47Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many,
are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves
little.
48And He said unto her, Your sins
are forgiven.
49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?
50And he said to the woman, Your faith
has saved you; go in peace. MKJV |
