³¹ And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

¹¹ Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

¹² So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

¹³ And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

⁶ And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

¹³ But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.

³ And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

⁴ But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?

⁵ We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

⁷ The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.

⁸ She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.

⁹ And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
