14:03 And he being in Bethany ...
  in the house of Simon the Leper ...
  he was reclining.
  A woman came having an alabaster of myrrh ...
  pure costly nard.
  Crushing the alabaster ...
  she pours it down on his head.
14:04 Now some were greatly displeased with themselves ...
  into what the destruction of myrrh has just become.
14:05 For the myrrh could be sold for on up of "300 denarii" ...
  and be given to "the poor."
  And they snorted their displeasure to her.
14:06 But Jesus said ... Leave her!
  Why do you cause her "work"?
  You are tendering an "ideal work" she "works" in me.
14:07 For you always have "the poor" with you ...
  and when you wish, you are able to "do good" for them.
  But you will not always have me.
14:08 What she had ...
  she did.
  She prepared ahead of time to anoint my body ...
  into the burial.
14:09 And "amen" I say to you ...
  where ever the gospel is preached into the whole cosmos ...
  what she did ...
  will be spoken in memory of her.
