📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Gospel of John, this verse occurs during a dinner in Bethany shortly before Jesus' crucifixion, where Mary, the sister of Lazarus, anoints Jesus' feet with expensive perfume as an act of deep devotion. This anointing was a cultural practice often associated with preparing bodies for burial, reflecting the Jewish customs of the time. Jesus defends Mary's action, interpreting it as a prophetic preparation for His own death, which underscores the mounting tension toward His passion and arrest.
