"There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment,
and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat…
"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet
of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour
of the ointment…
"She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying."
