Mark 14:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii,^[a] and the money given to the poor.’ And they scolded her. ⁶ But Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. ⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me.
