Now the Passover and Festival of Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest Him covertly and kill Him;

for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there will be a riot of the people.”

While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the Leper, He was reclining at the table, and a woman came with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the vial and poured the perfume over His head.

But there were some indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

For this perfume could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a good deed for Me.

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

이틀이 지나면 유월절과 무교절이라 대제사장들과 서기관들이 예수를 흉계로 잡아 죽일 방도를 구하며

Now the Passover and Festival of Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest Him covertly and kill Him;

이르되 민란이 날까 하노니 명절에는 하지 말자 하더라

for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there will be a riot of the people.”

예수께서 베다니 나병환자 시몬의 집에서 식사하실 때에 한 여자가 매우 값진 향유 곧 순전한 나드 한 옥합을 가지고 와서 그 옥합을 깨뜨려 예수의 머리에 부으니

While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the Leper, He was reclining at the table, and a woman came with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the vial and poured the perfume over His head.

어떤 사람들이 화를 내어 서로 말하되 어찌하여 이 향유를 허비하는가

But there were some indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

이 향유를 삼백 데나리온 이상에 팔아 가난한 자들에게 줄 수 있었겠도다 하며 그 여자를 책망하는지라

For this perfume could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

예수께서 이르시되 가만 두라 너희가 어찌하여 그를 괴롭게 하느냐 그가 내게 좋은 일을 하였느니라

But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a good deed for Me.

가난한 자들은 항상 너희와 함께 있으니 아무 때라도 원하는 대로 도울 수 있거니와 나는 너희와 항상 함께 있지 아니하리라

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

그는 힘을 다하여 내 몸에 향유를 부어 내 장례를 미리 준비하였느니라

She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

내가 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 온 천하에 어디서든지 복음이 전파되는 곳에는 이 여자가 행한 일도 말하여 그를 기억하리라 하시니라

Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
