Mark 14:3 in Context — Mark 14
1 La fête de Pâque et des pains sans levain devait avoir lieu deux jours après. Les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes cherchaient les moyens d’arrêter Jésus par ruse, et de le faire mourir.
2 Car ils disaient: Que ce ne soit pas pendant la fête, afin qu’il n’y ait pas de tumulte parmi le peuple.
3 Comme Jésus était à Béthanie, dans la maison de Simon le lépreux, une femme entra, pendant qu’il se trouvait à table. Elle tenait un vase d’albâtre, qui renfermait un parfum de nard pur de grand prix; et, ayant rompu le vase, elle répandit le parfum sur la tête de Jésus.
4 Quelques-uns exprimèrent entre eux leur indignation: A quoi bon perdre ce parfum?
5 On aurait pu le vendre plus de trois cents deniers, et les donner aux pauvres. Et ils s’irritaient contre cette femme.
