The Woman With The Alabaster Box (1997)
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 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"
