And they murmured against her. 6 And Jesus said, Leave her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a good work on me. 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you will you may do them good; but me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could; she has come beforehand to anoint my body for the burial. 9 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of in memory of her.
