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 Seis dias antes da Páscoa Jesus chegou a Betânia, onde vivia Lázaro, a quem ressuscitara dos mortos.
2 Ali prepararam um jantar para Jesus. Marta servia, enquanto Lázaro estava à mesa com ele.
3 Então Maria pegou um frasco de nardo puro, que era um perfume caro, derramou-o sobre os pés de Jesus e os enxugou com os seus cabelos. E a casa encheu-se com a fragrância do perfume.
4 Mas um dos seus discípulos, Judas Iscariotes, que mais tarde iria traí-lo, fez uma objeção:
5 “Por que este perfume não foi vendido, e o dinheiro dado aos pobres? Seriam trezentos denários”.
