Matteus 26,7

5 Men de sa, “Ikke under høytiden, ellers kan det bli opprør blant folket.”

6 Mens Jesus var i Betania, i huset til Simon, kjent som spedalsk,

kom en kvinne til ham med en alabastkrukke med meget kostbar parfyme, og hun helte den over hodet hans mens han lå til bords.

8 Da disiplene så dette, ble de opprørt og spurte, “Hvorfor denne sløsingen?

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

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.
