John 12:4 - Forerunner Commentary

John 12:4

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?”

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and ^ahad the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone;¹ she has kept this for the day of My burial.

8 For ^athe poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
