6 Comme Jésus était à Béthanie, dans la maison de Simon le lépreux,

7 une femme s’approcha de lui, tenant un vase d’albâtre, qui renfermait un parfum de grand prix; et, pendant qu’il était à table, elle répandit le parfum sur sa tête.

8 Les disciples, voyant cela, s’indignèrent, et dirent: A quoi bon cette perte?

9 On aurait pu vendre ce parfum très cher, et en donner le prix aux pauvres.
