Matthew 26:10-13

26:10 When ¹  Jesus learned of this, he said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She ²  has done a good service for me. 26:11 For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me! ³  26:12 When ⁴  she poured this oil on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 26:13 I tell you the truth, ⁵  wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
