Mark 14:8

Weymouth NT

What she could she did: she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial.

See the chapter Copy

In pouring this ointment over me, her object was to prepare me for burial.

Towards sunset, as it was the Preparation –that is, the day preceding the Sabbath–

Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.

But Jesus interposed. »Do not blame her,« He said, »allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.

For, assuming the earnest willingness, the gift is acceptable according to whatever a man has, and not according to what he has not.
