Matthew 26:9
King James Version
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
Context
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat
8But when his disciples saw they had indignation, saying, To what purpose this waste?
9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10When Jesus understood he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did for my burial.
