Markus 14,8

6 Men Jesus sa: "La henne være. Hvorfor plager dere henne? Hun har gjort en god gjerning mot meg.

7 Dere har alltid de fattige hos dere, og dere kan hjelpe dem når dere vil. Men meg har dere ikke alltid.

Hun har gjort det hun kunne; hun har salvet kroppen min til forberedelse for begravelsen.

9 Sannelig sier jeg dere, hvor som helst evangeliet blir forkynt i hele verden, skal det hun har gjort også fortelles til minne om henne."

10 Da gikk Judas Iskariot, en av de tolv, til overprestene for å overgi Jesus til dem.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
