Jean 11:2

2 (Marie était celle qui oignit le Seigneur de parfum, et qui essuya ses pieds avec ses cheveux; et Lazare, son frère, était malade. )

Jean 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:2

It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,
&c.] Not the woman in ( Luke 7:37 ) , as some have thought, whose name is not mentioned, and which history is not related by John at all: but Mary in ( John 12:3 ) , who is both mentioned by name, and along with Lazarus her brother, and with whom all the circumstances of the affair suit; and though the fact was not yet done, yet John writing many years after it was done, and when it was well known, proleptically, and in a parenthesis, takes notice of it here:

and wiped his feet with her hair;
instead of a napkin, after she had anointed them with oil; (See Gill on Luke 7:37), (See Gill on John 12:3).

Whose brother Lazarus was sick;
this is observed, to show how well they were all acquainted with Christ, and affected to him.

Jean 11:2 In-Context

1 Il y avait un homme malade, Lazare de Béthanie, bourg de Marie et de Marthe sa sœur.

2 (Marie était celle qui oignit le Seigneur de parfum, et qui essuya ses pieds avec ses cheveux; et Lazare, son frère, était malade. )

3 Ses sœurs donc envoyèrent dire à Jésus: Seigneur, celui que tu aimes est malade.

4 Jésus, ayant entendu cela, dit: Cette maladie n'est point à la mort, mais elle est pour la gloire de Dieu, afin que le Fils de Dieu en soit glorifié.

5 Or, Jésus aimait Marthe, et sa sœur, et Lazare.
