he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a
good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for
my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached
in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be
told for a memorial of her. |

Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a
good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye
will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she
could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say
unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole
world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of
her. |

Luke 7:36-50 |
woman in the city |
Pharisee's house named Simon (vs40) |
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew
that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of
ointment, |
stood at his feet behind him weeping, began to wash his feet with
tears, wiped them with the hairs of her head, kissed his feet, anointed them
with the ointment |
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within
himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and
what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. And
they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this
that forgiveth sins also? |
~~ |
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this
woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but
she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her
head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath
not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this
woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her
sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little
is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are
forgiven. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace

John 12:1-3 |
Mary, Martha's sister |
Bethany, house of Simon the leper |
~~ |
took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and
anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house
was filled with the odour of the ointment. |
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence,
and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor;
but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
|
six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany/ "they" made him
a supper; and Martha served |
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath
she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always. Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they
came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he
had raised from the dead. |
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that
they might take him. |
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to
death/ later: supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; |
