For the poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for its burial.

67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crew.
Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.

And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, This man is one of them.
70 And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.
Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.
71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye speak.

And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
