58. 耶稣责备门徒对玛达肋纳的诽谤

犹达斯迈出了他背信弃义的第一步，去联络了盖法。

耶稣每天都在圣殿里，用比喻施教并回答问题。

祂派祂的门徒两个两个到周围地区去教导和医治。

晚上，他们被邀请到朋友和追随者的家中休息。

耶稣警告宗徒和门徒，

他们中的一个人将把祂出卖给祂的敌人手中，而他们都会舍弃祂。

Jesus exhorted the Apostles not to give way to their natural fears upon what He had said to them, namely, that they would all be dispersed; they should not forget their neighbor and should not allow one sentiment to veil, to stifle another; and here He made use of the similitude of a mantle. In general terms He reproached some of them for murmuring at Magdalen’s anointing.

耶稣告诫宗徒们，不要因为祂对他们所说的话，就屈服于他们天生的恐惧，即他们都会被驱散。他们不应该忘记他们的邻人，不应该让一种情绪掩盖或抑制另一种情绪；在这里，耶稣使用了披风的类比。祂概括地责备其中一些人对玛达肋纳的膏抹所发的怨言。

Jesus probably said this in reference to Judas’ first definitive step toward His betrayal, which had been taken just after that action of hers also, as a gentle warning to him for the future, since it would be after Magdalen’s last anointing that he would carry out his treacherous design.

耶稣可能是指犹达斯背叛的决定性的第一步时说的，这也正是在玛达肋纳的那次膏抹之后犹达斯决定的，作为对犹达斯未来的温和警告，因为那将是在玛达肋纳的最后一次膏抹之后，犹达斯将执行他背信弃义的计划。

That some others were scandalized at Magdalen’s prodigal expression of love, arose from their erroneous severity and parsimony. They regarded this anointing as a luxury so often abused at worldly feasts, while overlooking the fact that such an action performed on the Holy of Holies was worthy of the highest praise.    (Vol. 4,pp. 31-32)

还有一些人对玛达肋纳慷慨表达爱意而感到震惊，这是因为他们过份的严厉和吝啬。他们认为这种膏抹是一种奢侈，在世俗的宴会上经常被滥用，而忽略了这样一个事实，即在至圣所施行的膏油礼是值得最高的赞美的。 （第 4 卷，第 31-32 页）
