Myrrh is mentioned three times in accounts about Jesus: as a gift when he was a baby, as an analgesic offered with wine when he was hanging on the stake, and as one of the spices used in the preparation of his body for burial.
Seda toodi talle kingiks, kui ta oli varases lapseeas, pakuti valuvaigistina veini sees, kui ta rippus piinapostil, ning kasutati ühe lõhnaainena, kui ta surnukeha matmiseks ette valmistati.
