Matthew 26:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. ⁸ But when the disciples saw it, they were angry and said, ‘Why this waste? ⁹ For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor.’
