一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 馬可福音14：3-9 Mark
3耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的西門家裡坐席的時候，有一個女人拿著一玉瓶至貴的真哪噠香膏來，打破玉瓶，把膏澆在耶穌的頭上。4有幾個人心中很不喜悅，說：何用這樣枉費香膏呢？5這香膏可以賣三十多兩銀子賙濟窮人。他們就向那女人生氣。6耶穌說：由他吧！為什麼難為他呢？他在我身上做的是一件美事。7因為常有窮人和你們同在，要向他們行善隨時都可以；只是你們不常有我。8他所做的，是盡他所能的；他是為我安葬的事把香膏預先澆在我身上。9我實在告訴你們，普天之下，無論在什麼地方傳這福音，也要述說這女人所做的，以為記念。
3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. 4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages[a] and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. 6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will always have with you,[b] and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
