“And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.”
Leave her alone, said Jesus. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me — the defense of the woman is immediate and absolute: leave her alone. A beautiful thing (kalon ergon, a noble deed) — the same word as the Mark 7:37 acclamation that Jesus has done everything well. The woman's act is not a foolish waste but a noble deed — the right action at the right time with the right person.
