Mark 14:4
King James Version
“And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?”
Context
1After two days was the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put to death.
2But they said, Not on the feast lest there be an uproar of the people.
3And 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 on his head.
4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
