“Let her alone; why trouble you her? she has wrought a good work on me. For you have the poor always with you, and whensoever you will you can do them good: but me you have not always. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for the burying. And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
