In context

⁹This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”

¹⁰Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

¹¹The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.

¹²By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

¹³Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
