Matthew 26:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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

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

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

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