Juan 12:1-8
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Una mujer echa perfume sobre Jesús
(Mt 26:6-13; Mr 14:3-9)
12 Seis días antes de la Pascua Jesús fue a Betania, donde vivía Lázaro, el hombre que Jesús había resucitado de la muerte. 2 Allí le prepararon una comida y Marta servía. Lázaro era uno de los hombres que estaban con él a la mesa. 3 Luego María tomó casi medio litro de perfume en aceite muy caro, hecho de nardo puro. Derramó el aceite en los pies de Jesús y los secó con su cabello. La casa se llenó con el olor del perfume en aceite.
4 Judas Iscariote, uno de los seguidores de Jesús, el que después lo traicionaría, dijo:
5 —¿Por qué no se vendió ese perfume que vale tanto como el salario de un año[a], y se les dio el dinero a los pobres?
6 Judas no dijo esto porque le importaran los pobres, sino porque era ladrón. Él tenía a su cargo la bolsa del dinero y se robaba lo que había adentro. 7 Entonces Jesús dijo:
—No la molestes. Deja que haga esto como preparación para el día de mi entierro. 8 Pues siempre tendrán a los pobres con ustedes,[b] pero no siempre me tendrán a mí.

King James Version
12 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 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.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

New King James Version
The Anointing at Bethany(A)
12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, (B)where Lazarus was [a]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then (D)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of (E)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
