The Anointing at Bethany

⁶ While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon^(A) the leper,^{[a] 7} a woman approached him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on his head as he was reclining at the table. ⁸ When the disciples^(B) saw it, they were indignant. ‘Why this waste? ’ they asked. ⁹ ‘This might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor.’
