King James Version (KJV)

Matthew 26:6

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

Verse in context — Matthew 26

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill [him].

But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar among the people.

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

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at meat].

But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?

Jesus as the promised Messiah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy.
