Tatian, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, The Diatessaron of Tatian… (1885)
“ And that displeased the rest of the disciples also within themselves, and they said, Why went this ointment [13] to waste? [17] It was possible that it should be sold for much, and the poor be given [14] it. [18] And they were angry with [19] Mary. [20] And Jesus perceived it, and said unto them, [21] Leave her; why molest ye her? a good work hath she accomplished on me: [22] for the [15] day of my burial kept she it. [23] At all times the poor are with you, and when ye [16] wish ye can do them a kindness: [24] but I am not at all times with you. ”
