When he was in Bethany / in the house1 of Simon the leper / even as he sate at meat / there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment called nard / that was pure and costly: and she brake the box and poured it on is heed. And there were some that were2 not content in them selves / & said: what needed this waste of ointment? For it might have been sold for more then three hundred pens / and been given unto the poor. And they grudged against her.

And Jesus said: let her be in rest / why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me. For ye shall have poor with you all ways: and when soever ye will / ye may do them good: but me ye shall not have always. She hath done that she could: she came a fore hand to anoint my body to his burying ward. Verily I say unto you: wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world: this also that she hath done / shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her.
