Bible verse
Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
Matthew 26:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
9 This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10 Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
12 By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
