Matthew 26:12

Weymouth NT

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

See the chapter Copy

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

When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.

Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.

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