This study is centered on a semantic analysis of John’s account of the unction of Bethany (Jo 12, 1-11). Amid the various existing studies, the present one has the particularity of regarding this episode as a corollary of Jesus’ activity and, at the same time, as the beginning of His passion, death and resurrection. With this in mind, the study seeks to present the identity of Jesus and of the mission he entrusted to the disciples in accordance with the view put forward by the fourth evangelist. The study is rooted in the canonical text– based on the text of the Novum Testamentum graece edited by E. Nestle – K. Aland and others (Stuttgart 27 1993) – and the principle that John’s Gospel is a literary work situated in its historical context, with the objective of leading to faith and confession in Jesus Christ, Son of God. Thus, starting from the text, its framework and structure, this study analyzes its meaning.
