6 Ma Gesù disse: Lasciatela stare! Perché le date noia? Ella ha fatto un’azione buona inverso me.

Marco 14:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:6

And Jesus said, let her alone
Jesus knowing the secret indignation of some of his disciples, and their private murmurings at the woman, and their continual teasings of her, because of the expense of the ointment, said to them, as the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read; or "to the disciples", as the Persic, let the woman alone, cease to chide and reprove her for what she has done;

why trouble ye her?
why do you grieve her, by charging her with imprudence and extravagance, as if she had been guilty of a very great crime? she is so far from it, that

she hath wrought a good work on me;
she has done me an honour; expressed faith in me, and shown love to me, and ought to be commended, and not reproved; (See Gill on Matthew 26:10).

Marco 14:6 In-Context

4 E alcuni, sdegnatisi, dicevano fra loro: Perché s’è fatta questa perdita dell’olio?

5 Questo olio si sarebbe potuto vendere più di trecento denari e darli ai poveri. E fremevano contro a lei.

6 Ma Gesù disse: Lasciatela stare! Perché le date noia? Ella ha fatto un’azione buona inverso me.

7 Poiché i poveri li avete sempre con voi; e quando vogliate, potete far loro del bene; ma a me non mi avete sempre.

8 Ella ha fatto ciò che per lei si poteva; ha anticipato d’ungere il mio corpo per la sepoltura.
