Listen to Juan 12:7
7 Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala, para que lo guarde para el día de mi sepultura.

Juan 12:7 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:7

Then said Jesus, let her alone
Do not disturb her in what she does, or hinder her, or blame her for it:

against the day of my burial hath she kept this;
this ointment, which she now poured on Christ; it was usual to embalm the dead with ointments and spices: Christ suggests, that the time of his death and burial were nigh, and that this woman had kept this ointment till now, for such a purpose; and whereas she would not be able to make use of it at the time of his interment, she had embalmed his body with it now, beforehand; though without any knowledge of his death, or any such intention and design in her, but the Holy Ghost so directing her: for this is not to be understood of her keeping any part of it till that time, which it does not appear she did.

Juan 12:7 In-Context

5 ¿Por qué no se vendió este perfume por trescientos denarios y se dio a los pobres?
6 Pero dijo esto, no porque se preocupara por los pobres, sino porque era un ladrón, y como tenía la bolsa del dinero, sustraía de lo que se echaba en ella.
7 Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala, para que lo guarde para el día de mi sepultura.
8 Porque a los pobres siempre los tendréis con vosotros; pero a mí no siempre me tendréis.
9 Entonces la gran multitud de judíos se enteró de que Jesús estaba allí; y vinieron no sólo por causa de Jesús, sino también por ver a Lázaro, a quien había resucitado de entre los muertos.
