Γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; Ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν εἰργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ.
RBT Translation:
Into Myself!
And the Salvation, he who has recognized, said to themselves, "What beatings you are presenting to the Woman! For she worked a beautiful work into myself!"
κόπος kópos - a strike, beating

"(from 2875 /kóptō, "to hit, strike") – properly, a strike (blow) that is so hard, it seriously weakens or debilitates; (figuratively) deep fatigue, extreme weariness (wearisome toil)."

(cf. Strongs #G2873)
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And Jesus having known, said to them, Why offer ye toils to the woman? for a good work has she worked upon me.
LITV Translation:
But knowing, Jesus said to them, Why do you cause trouble to the woman? For she worked a good work toward Me.
