📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of the Gospels, this verse refers to an event in Bethany during Jesus' final days before his crucifixion, where a woman anointed him with expensive perfume. The disciples, reflecting the cultural emphasis on practical charity in first-century Jewish society, criticized her by noting that the perfume could have been sold for over 300 denarii, a year's wages for a laborer, and the money given to the poor. This incident highlights the tension between extravagant acts of devotion and the societal expectation of aiding the needy.
