6But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
7The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.
8She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.
— Mark 14:6-8
