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.

Ex 16:7,8; De 1:27; Ps 106:25; Mt 18:28; Mt 20:11; Lu 15:2; Joh 6:7; Joh 6:43; Joh 12:5,6; Joh 13:29; 1Co 10:10; Eph 4:28; Php 2:14; Jude 1:16

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.
