In context

⁶While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

⁷A woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

⁸When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

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.
