Juan 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.

1 Entonces Jesús, seis días antes de la Pascua, vino a Betania donde estaba Lázaro , al que Jesús había resucitado de entre los muertos.
2 Y le hicieron una cena allí, y Marta servía; pero Lázaro era uno de los que estaban a la mesa con El.
3 Entonces María, tomando una libra de perfume de nardo puro que costaba mucho, ungió los pies de Jesús, y se los secó con los cabellos, y la casa se llenó con la fragancia del perfume.
4 Y Judas Iscariote, uno de sus discípulos, el que le iba a entregar, dijo<***>:
5 ¿Por qué no se vendió este perfume por trescientos denarios y se dio a los pobres?
