John 12:3 - Forerunner Commentary

John 12:3

The Anointing at Bethany

1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, ^awhere Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

2 ^aThere they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.

3 Then ^aMary took a pound of very costly oil of ^bspikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

4 But one of His disciples, ^aJudas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,

5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for¹ three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
