Jesus Anointed at Bethany

Download MP3

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat at meat. But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, He said unto them, Why do you trouble this woman? for she has wrought a good work upon Me. For you have the poor always with you, but you will not always have Me with you. For in that she has poured this ointment on My body, she has done 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 has done, be told for a memorial of her. Matthew 26 vs 6-13.
