João 11:2

2 E Maria, cujo irmão Lázaro se achava enfermo, era a mesma que ungiu o Senhor com bálsamo, e lhe enxugou os pés com os seus cabelos.

João 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:2

It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,
&c.] Not the woman in ( Luke 7:37 ) , as some have thought, whose name is not mentioned, and which history is not related by John at all: but Mary in ( John 12:3 ) , who is both mentioned by name, and along with Lazarus her brother, and with whom all the circumstances of the affair suit; and though the fact was not yet done, yet John writing many years after it was done, and when it was well known, proleptically, and in a parenthesis, takes notice of it here:

and wiped his feet with her hair;
instead of a napkin, after she had anointed them with oil; (See Gill on Luke 7:37), (See Gill on John 12:3).

Whose brother Lazarus was sick;
this is observed, to show how well they were all acquainted with Christ, and affected to him.

João 11:2 In-Context

1 Ora, estava enfermo um homem chamado Lázaro, de Betânia, aldeia de Maria e de sua irmã Marta.

2 E Maria, cujo irmão Lázaro se achava enfermo, era a mesma que ungiu o Senhor com bálsamo, e lhe enxugou os pés com os seus cabelos.

3 Mandaram, pois, as irmãs dizer a Jesus: Senhor, eis que está enfermo aquele que tu amas.

4 Jesus, porém, ao ouvir isto, disse: Esta enfermidade não é para a morte, mas para glória de Deus, para que o Filho de Deus seja glorificado por ela.

5 Ora, Jesus amava a Marta, e a sua irmã, e a Lázaro.
