<h3>JESUS PRAISES A WOMAN WHO GAVE HER BEST</h3>
<p>While Jesus was at dinner at Bethany in the house of Simon,
the jar-maker, a woman came in with an alabaster jar of pure perfume,
which was very costly. Breaking the jar she poured the
perfume over his head. Some said to each other in indignation,
"Why this waste of perfume? It might have been sold for more
than three hundred silver pieces and the money given to the poor."</p>
<p>But because they found fault with her, Jesus said, "Let her alone,
why do you trouble her? She has done me a beautiful service. The
poor are with you always; to them you can do good whenever you
wish, but me you will not always have. She has done what she
could; she has poured oil on my body beforehand for burial. I tell
you, wherever through all the world the good news is told, this deed
of hers will be told in memory of her."</p>
