In context

5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
