Mark 14:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 14:6

4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted?

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred ^adenarii and given to the poor.” And they ^bcriticized her sharply.

6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.

7 ^aFor you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; ^bbut Me you do not have always.

8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is ^apreached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
