12:1 過越祭の六日前に、イエスはベタニアに行かれた。そこには、イエスが死者の中からよみがえらせたラザロがいた。

12:2 イエスのためにそこで夕食が用意され、マルタは給仕をしていた。ラザロは、イエスと共に食事の席に着いた人々の中にいた。

12:3 そのとき、マリアが純粋で非常に高価なナルドの香油を一リトラ持って来て、イエスの足に塗り、自分の髪でその足をぬぐった。家は香油の香りでいっぱいになった。

12:4 弟子の一人で、後にイエスを裏切るイスカリオテのユダが言った。

12:5 「なぜ、この香油を三百デナリオンで売って、貧しい人々に施さなかったのか。」

12:6 彼がこう言ったのは、貧しい人々のことを心にかけていたからではない。彼は盗人であって、金入れを預かっていながら、その中身をごまかしていたからである。

12:7 イエスは言われた。「この人のするままにさせておきなさい。わたしの葬りの日のために、それを取って置いたのだから。

12:8 貧しい人々はいつもあなたがたと一緒にいるが、わたしはいつも一緒にいるわけではない。」

ＮＫＪＶ ヨハ 12:1-8

12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

12:2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.

12:3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

12:4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,

12:5 "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

12:7 But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

12:8 "For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always."

ＴＥＶ ヨハ 12:1-8

12:1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death.

12:2 They prepared a dinner for him there, which Martha helped serve; Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at the table with Jesus.

12:3 Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house.

12:4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot-the one who was going to betray him-said,

12:5 "Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?"

12:6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it.

12:7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone! Let her keep what she has for the day of my burial.

12:8 You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me."
