Marcos 14:1

Una mujer unge a Jesús en Betania

1 Faltaban solo dos días para la Pascua y para la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura. Los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley buscaban con artimañas cómo arrestar a Jesús para matarlo.

Marcos 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:1

After two days was [the feast of] the passover
That is, two days after Christ had delivered the foregoing discourse concerning the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem, was the feast of the passover; which was kept in commemoration of God's passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, and made way for the deliverance of the children of Israel from thence: and which was kept by eating the passover lamb; and which, properly speaking, is the feast of the passover:

and of unleavened bread;
which was the same feast with the other, called so from the unleavened bread which was then eaten; though with this difference, the passover lamb was only eaten on the first night, but unleavened bread was eaten for seven days together. The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions render it, "the passover of unleavened bread", leaving out the copulative "and".

And the chief priests and Scribes sought how they might take him by
craft;
that is, Jesus,

and put him to death:
for which purpose they assembled together in Caiaphas the high priest's palace, and there took counsel together how to accomplish it; see ( Matthew 26:2-4 ) .

Marcos 14:1 In-Context

1 Faltaban solo dos días para la Pascua y para la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura. Los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley buscaban con artimañas cómo arrestar a Jesús para matarlo.

2 Por eso decían: «No durante la fiesta, no sea que se amotine el pueblo».

3 En Betania, mientras estaba él sentado a la mesa en casa de Simón llamado el Leproso, llegó una mujer con un frasco de alabastro lleno de un perfume muy costoso, hecho de nardo puro. Rompió el frasco y derramó el perfume sobre la cabeza de Jesús.

4 Algunos de los presentes comentaban indignados:—¿Para qué este desperdicio de perfume?

5 Podía haberse vendido por muchísimo dinero para darlo a los pobres.Y la reprendían con severidad.
