Ἄφετε αὐτήν. This must mean Let her alone rather than “Allow her”; sinite eam (Vulg.). It was too late to prevent her.

κόπους παρέχετε. Κόπος is a “blow,” and hence “worry” or “wear and tear”; Luke 11:7; Galatians 6:17. So also in papyri.

καλόν ἔργον. “It was a beautiful act that she wrought on Me.”
