And they grudged agaynste hir. 6 And Iesus sayde: let hir be in reest why trouble ye hir? She hath done a good worke on me. 7 For ye shall have poore with you all wayes: and when soever ye will ye maye do them good: but me ye shall not have alwayes. 8 She hath done that she coulde: she came a fore honde to anoynt my boddy to his buryinge warde. 9 Verely I saye vnto you: wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached thorowout the whole worlde: thys also that she hath done shalbe rehearsed in remembraunce of her.
