6 Enquanto Jesus estava em Betânia, na casa de Simão o leproso,
7 veio a ele uma mulher com um vaso de alabastro, de óleo perfumado de grande valor, e derramou sobre a cabeça dele, enquanto estava sentado à mesa.
8 E quando os seus discípulos viram, ficaram indignados, dizendo: Para que este desperdício?
9 Pois esse óleo perfumado podia ter sido vendido por muito, e o dinheiro dado aos pobres.
10 Porém Jesus, sabendo [disso] ,disse-lhes: Por que perturbais a esta mulher? Ora, ela me fez uma boa obra!
