NASB
"But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?"
— Matthew 26:8, NASB
“But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?”
“But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? ”
“But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?”
“When the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said,“Why this waste?”
“And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?”
“But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?”
“But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?”
But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,
a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.
But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?
"For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.
"For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.
