新约 -- 约翰福音(John) -- 第 12 章 12:1 逾越节前六日，耶稣来到伯大尼，就是他叫拉撒路从死里复活之处。 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 12:2 有人在那里给耶稣豫备筵席。马大伺候，拉撒路也在那同耶稣坐席的人中。 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 12:3 马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏，抹耶稣的脚，又用自己的头发去擦。屋里就满了膏的香气。 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. 12:4 有一个门徒，就是那将要卖耶稣的加略人犹大， Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 12:5 说，这香膏为什么不卖三十两银子周济穷人呢。 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 12:6 他说这话，并不是挂念穷人，乃因他是个贼，又带着钱曩，常取其中所存的。 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. 12:7 耶稣说，由他吧，他是为我安葬之日存留的。 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 12:8 因为常有穷人和你们同在。只是你们不常有我。 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. 有多少时候我们太会计算成本、损益，太在乎别人对我们的看法， 没有将自己的爱献给主耶稣。 主啊！昂贵的爱、奢华的爱献给你是合宜的。 求你使我们像马利亚一样打破自己的玉瓶，流露出耶稣的生命，使满世皆香！
