The Anointing at Bethany

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 26:6–13

6 And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,
7 a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him, and shedded it out on the head of him resting.
8 And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said, Whereto is this loss?
9 for it might be sold for much or this might have been sold for much, and be given to poor men.
10 But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work or she hath wrought a good work in me.
11 For ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me.
12 For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did for to bury me.
13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him.

3 And when he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon leprous, and rested or sat at the meat, a woman came, that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment spikenard; and when the box of alabaster was broken, she poured it on his head.
4 But there were some that bare it heavily within themselves, and said, Whereto is this loss of ointment made?
5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and be given to poor men. And they grutched against her.
6 But Jesus said, Suffer ye her; what be ye heavy to her? she hath wrought a good work in me.
7 For evermore ye shall have poor men with you, and when ye will, ye may do well to them; but ye shall not evermore have me.
8 She did that that she had; she came before to anoint my body into burying.
9 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, and that that this woman hath done, shall be told into mind of him or of her.

1 Therefore Jesus before six days of pask came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised.
2 And they made to him a supper there, and Martha ministered to him; and Lazarus was one of the men that sat at the meat with him.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard or spikenard precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.
4 Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,
5 Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men?
6 But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.
7 Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;
8 for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not ever-more have me.
