Matthew 26:9 in Context — Matthew 26
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.
10 Jésus, s’en étant aperçu, leur dit: Pourquoi faites-vous de la peine à cette femme? Elle a fait une bonne action à mon égard;
11 car vous avez toujours des pauvres avec vous, mais vous ne m’avez pas toujours.
