"For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
In context
7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat .
8But when his disciples saw , they had indignation, saying, To what purpose this waste?
9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10When Jesus understood , he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
