Context Jesus Anointed at Bethany

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