| MATT. XXVI.
6 Now when Jesus was
in Bethany, in the house
of Simon the leper,
7. There came unto him
a woman having an ala-
baster box of very pre-
cious ointment, and poured
it on his head, as he sat
at meat.
8 But When his di-
sciples saw it, they had
indignation, saying, To
what purpose is this
waste?
9 For this ointment
might have been sold
for much, and given to
the poor.
10. When Jesus under-
stood it, he said unto them,
Why trouble ye the
woman? for she hath
wrought a good work upon
me.
11 For ye have the poor
always with you; but me
ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath
poured this ointment on
my body, she did it for
my burial.
13 Verily I say unto
you, Wheresoever this
gospel shall be preached
in the whole world, there
shall also this, that this
woman hath done, be
told for a memorial of
her.

MARK XIV.
3 And being in Bethany
in the house of Simon the
leper, as he sat at meat,
there came a woman having
an alabaster box of ointment
of spikenard very precious;
and she brake the box, and
poured it on his head.
4 And there were some
that had indignation within
themselves, and said, Why
was this waste of the ointment
made?
5 For it might have been
sold for more than three
hundred pence, and have
been given to the poor.
And they murmured against
her.
6 And Jesus said, Let
her alone; why trouble ye
her? she hath wrought a
good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor
with you always, and when-
soever ye will ye may do
them good: but me ye have
not always.
8. She hath done what she
could: she is come afore-
hand to anoint my body to
the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall
be preached throughout the
whole world, this also that
she hath dome shall be spok-
en of for a memorial of
her.

JOHN XII.
1. Then Jesus six days before the
passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus
was which had been dead, whom he
raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper;
and Martha served: but Lazarus was
one of them that sat at tho table with
him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of oint-
ment of spikenard, very costly, and
anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped
his feet with her hair: and the house
was filled with the odour of the oint-
ment.
4. Then saith one of his disciples,
Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which
should betray him,
5. Why was not this ointment sold
for three hundred pence, and given to
the poor?
6. This he said, not that he cared
for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and had the bag, and bare what
was put therein.
7. Then said Jesus, Let her alone:
against the day of my burying hath
she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with
you; but me ye have mot always.
9 Much people of the Jews therefore
knew that he was there: and they came
not for Jesus' sake only, but that they
might see Lazarus also, whom he had
raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that
they might put Lazarus also to death;
11. Because that by reason of him
many of the Jews went away, and
believed on Jesus.
