[7]While Jesus was eating, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar filled with an expensive perfume, which she poured on his head.
[8]The disciples saw this and became angry. “Why all this waste?” they asked.
[9]“This perfume could have been sold for a large amount and the money given to the poor!”
[10]Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? It is a fine and beautiful thing that she has done for me.
