Matt 26:6-13
woman
Bethany, house of Simon the leper
had alabaster box of very precious ointment
poured ointment on Jesus' head as he sat at meat
disciples had indignation and said, to what purpose is this waste?
~~
he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

two days before Passover
Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Luke 7:36-50
woman in the city
Pharisee's house named Simon (vs40)
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
stood at his feet behind him weeping, began to wash his feet with tears, wiped them with the hairs of her head, kissed his feet, anointed them with the ointment
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
~~
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace
Jesus was in Nain then two of John the Baptist's disciples came to Him/He spoke to the people about John the Baptist
Jesus went throughout every city and village preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God.

John 12:1-3
Mary, Martha's sister
Bethany, house of Simon the leper
~~
took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?  This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany/ "they" made him a supper; and Martha served
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death/ later: supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

You may have to tweak it a bit to make it look good by changing fonts, font size, etc.
