Matteus 26,11

Poverty and the vulnerable

9 Denne parfymen kunne ha blitt solgt for en høy pris og pengene gitt til de fattige.”

10 Men Jesus, klar over dette, sa til dem, “Hvorfor plager dere kvinnen? Hun har gjort en god gjerning for meg.

For de fattige har dere alltid hos dere, men meg har dere ikke alltid.

12 Ved å helle denne parfymen over kroppen min, har hun gjort det som en forberedelse til min begravelse.

13 Sannelig, jeg sier dere, hvor enn dette evangeliet blir forkynt i hele verden, skal det hun har gjort også bli fortalt til minne om henne.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
