Marcos 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:5

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred
pence
Which, was to the value of our money nine pounds, seven shillings, and sixpence:

and given to the poor;
which was thought to be a better way of expending it, than by pouring it on the head of Christ:

and they murmured against her:
that she should lavish so much money away in such an imprudent manner; they reproved her for it, expressed much resentment at it, and were very angry with, her upon the account of it; (See Gill on Matthew 26:8), (See Gill on Matthew 26:9).

Marcos 14:5 In-Context

3 Estando ele em Betânia, reclinado � mesa em casa de Simão, o leproso, veio uma mulher que trazia um vaso de alabastro cheio de bálsamo de nardo puro, de grande preço; e, quebrando o vaso, derramou-lhe sobre a cabeça o bálsamo.
4 Mas alguns houve que em si mesmos se indignaram e disseram: Para que se fez este desperdício do bálsamo?
5 Pois podia ser vendido por mais de trezentos denários que se dariam aos pobres. E bramavam contra ela.
6 Jesus, porém, disse: Deixai-a; por que a molestais? Ela praticou uma boa ação para comigo.
7 Porquanto os pobres sempre os tendes convosco e, quando quiserdes, podeis fazer-lhes bem; a mim, porém, nem sempre me tendes.
