John 12:5 in Context — John 12
3 Marie, ayant pris une livre d’un parfum de nard pur de grand prix, oignit les pieds de Jésus, et elle lui essuya les pieds avec ses cheveux; et la maison fut remplie de l’odeur du parfum.
4 Un de ses disciples, Judas Iscariot, fils de Simon, celui qui devait le livrer, dit:
5 Pourquoi n’a-t-on pas vendu ce parfum trois cents deniers, pour les donner aux pauvres?
6 Il disait cela, non qu’il se mît en peine des pauvres, mais parce qu’il était voleur, et que, tenant la bourse, il prenait ce qu’on y mettait.
7 Mais Jésus dit: Laisse-la garder ce parfum pourle jour de ma sépulture.
