Matthew 26:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment and poured it over his head as he reclined at table. ⁸ When the disciples saw this, they became indignant, and they remarked, “Why this waste? ⁹ This ointment could have been sold for a considerable sum, with the money given to the poor.”
