Mark 14:5

Context
14:5 It 1  could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins 2  and the money 3  given to the poor!” So 4  they spoke angrily to her.

1 tn Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “three hundred denarii.” One denarius was the standard day’s wage, so the value exceeded what a laborer could earn in a year (taking in to account Sabbaths and feast days when no work was done).

3 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied (as the proceeds from the sale of the perfumed oil).

4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
