• As this is a cento of verses, the numbering indicates the number of Senjecan sentences, not of the Biblical verses.

Literal Translation of the Greek

• 1: And six days before Passover being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper Jesus reclined at table.
• 2: And behold a woman who was in the city, a sinner, and having.known that he.reclines.at.table approached him having an.alabaster jar of.ointment, pure expensive nard.
• 3: Having stood behind at his feet crying, with.the tears she began to wet his feet and with.the hairs of her head she.was.wiping and was.kissing his feet
• 4: And, having.broken the alabaster.jar, was anointing them with the ointment.
• 5: And the house was.filled with the odor of.the ointment.
• 6: And having.seen the disciples were.angry.
• 7: And Judas the Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one being.about.to.betray him, says, "Why this waste of.ointment has.happened?
• 8: For was.able this ointment to.be.sold (for) more.than three.hundred denarii and to.be.given to.the poor."
• 9: And they scolded her.
• 10: But he.said this, not because about the poor it.mattered to.him but because thief he.was and the money.box having the.being.put he.was removing.
• 11: And having.known Jesus said to.them, "Leave her, that for the day of.the burial of.me she.may.keep it.
• 12: Why are.you.causing trouble for.the woman? For a.good work she does for me.
• 13: For always the poor you have with yourselves, and when you.wish you.are.able for.them to.do good, but me not always do.you.have.
• 14: What she.had she.did.
• 15: For having.put she this ointment upon my body in.order.to prepare.for.burial me she.did (it)
• 16: And truly I.say to.you, wherever is.preached this good.news in whole world, also what she did will.be.spoken in her memory.
• 17: And he.said to.her., "Have.been.forgiven your sins."
• 18: And began the reclining-with to.say among themselves,"Who this is who even sins forgives?
• 19: And he.said to the woman, "The faith of.you has.saved you. Go in peace."
