ヨハネの福音書 12:8 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:8

This verse is omitted in D, but abundantly attested here. It occurs almost verbatim in Matthew and Mark, and cannot be set aside on the authority of this one eccentric manuscript. For the poor ye have always with you (cf. Deuteronomy 15:11 ). You will always have opportunity of doing to them, as to representatives of me, what is in your heart of compassion (cf. Matthew 25:40-45 ). But me , as an object of personal, tangible regard and visible attention, deserving thus and ever the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:2-8

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:3-16.John 12:2A supper - At the house of Simon the leper, Matthew 26:6.Lazarus was ... - The names of Martha and Lazarus are mentioned because it was not in their own house, but in that of Simon. Lazarus is particularly mentioned, since it was so remarkable that one who had been once dead should be enjoying again the endearments of friendship. This shows, also, that his resurrection was no illusion - that he was really restored to the... read more

John 12:3-8. Then took Mary a pound of ointment, &c. See notes on Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:1-9. She did what is here related in token of the warm sense she had of the many favours Christ had conferred on her and her relations, but especially for the wonderful kindness he had lately shown to her brother Lazarus. Then saith Judas, Why was not this ointment sold, &c. Judas was angry because his Master had not taken the ointment with a view to sell it, pretending that the price... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 12:1-11

118. Jesus returns to Bethany (John 12:1-11)Before going on to Jerusalem, Jesus returned to Bethany, where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived. Mary, believing this was probably the last time Jesus would be with them, showed her devotion by washing his feet with expensive perfume (John 12:1-4). Judas objected that the use of expensive perfume in this way was a waste of money. In answer Jesus told his disciples that he would be with them only a little longer, then would be crucified. He saw Mary’s... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 12:8

For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.The priority of Jesus Christ and his requirements, even above and before the legitimate needs of the poor, appears in a statement such as this. The claims of the poor upon the believer's bounty are high; but the obligation to Christ is higher. See my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 26:11. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:8

8. the poor always . . . with you—referring to Deuteronomy 15:11. but me . . . not always—a gentle hint of His approaching departure. He adds (Deuteronomy 15:11- :), "She hath done what she could," a noble testimony, embodying a principle of immense importance. "Verily, I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her" (Matthew 26:13; Mark 14:9). "In the act of love done to Him she had... read more

3. Mary’s anointing of Jesus 12:1-8 (cf. Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9)In contrast to the hatred that the religious leaders manifested stands the love that Mary demonstrated toward the One she had come to believe in. Her act of sacrificial devotion is a model for all true disciples. This is the climax of belief in this section of the Gospel that records Jesus’ public ministry (John 1:19 to John 12:50). Chapter 12 records Jesus’ last teaching before the general public. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 12:8

Unless Jesus was the Son of God who was due the same honor as His Father (John 5:23) this statement would have manifested supreme arrogance. Jesus was not encouraging the disciples to regard poverty as inevitable and, therefore, to avoid doing anything to help those in need. He was comparing the unique opportunity that His impending death presented with the continual need that the poverty of some will always present (cf. Mark 14:7).John’s Gospel has been contrasting the growing belief of some... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:1-50

The Triumphal Entry. Close of the Public Ministry1-11. Supper at Bethany (see on Matthew 26:6 and Mark 14:3, which record the same incident). The event in Luke 7:36. is different. The supper was at the house of Simon the leper, a near relation, perhaps the father, of Lazarus and the sisters. St. John alone mentions the name of the woman who anointed Jesus, the quantity of the unguent (1 litre = 12 oz.), and the author of the mean speech, ’Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence,... read more
