João 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:3

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard very costly,
&c.] Worth three hundred pence, according to Judas's estimation of it. This Mary was the other sister of Lazarus; (See Gill on Matthew 26:7), (See Gill on Mark 14:3), concerning the nature and value of this ointment:

and anointed the feet of Jesus;
as he lay upon the bed or couch, at supper:

and wiped his feet with her hair; (See Gill on Luke 7:38).

And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment;
see ( Song of Solomon 1:3 Song of Solomon 1:12 ) ; ointment of spikenard was very odoriferous: this may be an emblem of the sweet savour of Christ, in the ministration of the Gospel, throughout the whole world.

João 12:3 In-Context

1 Veio, pois, Jesus seis dias antes da páscoa, a Betânia, onde estava Lázaro, a quem ele ressuscitara dentre os mortos.
2 Deram-lhe ali uma ceia; Marta servia, e Lázaro era um dos que estavam � mesa com ele.
3 Então Maria, tomando uma libra de bálsamo de nardo puro, de grande preço, ungiu os pés de Jesus, e os enxugou com os seus cabelos; e encheu-se a casa do cheiro do bálsamo.
4 Mas Judas Iscariotes, um dos seus discĂ­pulos, aquele que o havia de trair disse:
5 Por que não se vendeu este bálsamo por trezentos denários e não se deu aos pobres?
