Mary pours perfume on Jesus

لفصل: 12

ثُمَّ قَبْلَ الْفِصْحِ بِسِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ أَتَى يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا حَيْثُ كَانَ لِعَازَرُ الْمَيْتُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ.
2  فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ هُنَاكَ عَشَاءً. وَكَانَتْ مَرْثَا تَخْدِمُ وَأَمَّا لِعَازَرُ فَكَانَ أَحَدَ الْمُتَّكِئِينَ مَعَهُ.
3  فَأَخَذَتْ مَرْيَمُ مَناً مِنْ طِيبِ نَارِدِينٍ خَالِصٍ كَثِيرِ الثَّمَنِ وَدَهَنَتْ قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ وَمَسَحَتْ قَدَمَيْهِ بِشَعْرِهَا فَامْتَلَأَ الْبَيْتُ مِنْ رَائِحَةِ الطِّيبِ.
4  فَقَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ تلاَمِيذِهِ وَهُوَ يَهُوذَا سِمْعَانُ الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ الْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ:
5  «لِمَاذَا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذَا الطِّيبُ بِثلاَثَمِئَةِ دِينَارٍ وَيُعْطَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ؟»
6  قَالَ هَذَا لَيْسَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُبَالِي بِالْفُقَرَاءِ بَلْ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ سَارِقاً وَكَانَ الصُّنْدُوقُ عِنْدَهُ وَكَانَ يَحْمِلُ مَا يُلْقَى فِيهِ.
7  فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «اتْرُكُوهَا. إِنَّهَا لِيَوْمِ تَكْفِينِي قَدْ حَفِظَتْهُ
8  لأَنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ».

John 12:1-8New International Version

12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c] but you will not always have me.”
