馬可福音 14:5 RCUVTS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:4-5

Apparently Judas Iscariot voiced the disciples’ violent objection (Gr. embrimaomai, cf. Mark 10:14) to Mary’s act of loving sacrifice (Matthew 26:8; John 12:4-5). Customarily Jews gave gifts to the poor the evening of Passover. [Note: Wessel, p. 756.] Mary’s gift to Jesus was worth a year’s wages. The disciples could see no reason for this "waste" because they did not understand that Jesus’ death was imminent. Their concern for the poor contrasts with her concern for Jesus. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 14:3-9

(3-9) And being in Bethany.—See Notes on Matthew 26:6-13.Ointment of spikenard.—The Greek word so translated is, as the various renderings in the margin show, of doubtful import. It is used by St. John (John 12:3) in his account of the same facts.She brake the box.—As in the “breaking through” the roof in Mark 2:4, the vivid touch that brings the manner of the act distinctly before our eyes is found in St. Mark only. The Greek word implies not so much the breaking of the neck of the costly jar... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 14:1-72

Foreign Missions Mark 14:4 The incident from which our text is taken is distinguished above all others by the fact that Jesus mentions it as one that shall be held in world-wide and undying remembrance (v. 9). What is there said has been realized wherever missions have been established. But, unfortunately, the obvious moral of the story has not prevented the application to foreign missions of a question, oft repeated and loud sounding, which amounts almost in so many words to the question of... read more
