Mark 14:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ But there were some who were moved with indignation and said to themselves, To what purpose was the ointment (^[a]perfume) thus wasted?

⁵ For it was possible to have sold this [perfume] for more than 300 denarii [a laboring man’s wages for a year] and to have given [the money] to the poor. And they censured and reproved her.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her alone; why are you troubling her? She has done a good and beautiful thing to Me [praiseworthy and noble].
