Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Entonces María tomó un perfume muy caro , de lo más fino, y lo derramó sobre los pies de Jesús. Luego usó su propio cabello para limpiarlos. Toda la casa se llenó del aroma de ese perfume.

📚 Contexto Histórico
This event takes place in Bethany, where Jesus was dining with his friends, including Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, whom he had recently raised from the dead, as described in the Gospel of John. Mary's act of anointing Jesus' feet with expensive spikenard oil was a gesture of deep devotion and likely foreshadowed his impending burial, highlighting the cultural practice of anointing as a sign of honor in first-century Jewish society. In this context, the extravagance of the ointment underscored the personal sacrifice and faith involved in such an act.
