Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred pence, and given to the poor. Three hundred pence would amount to about £10 12s. 6d. of English money. It appears from St. John (John 13:29) that the wants of the poor were carefully attended to by our Lord and his disciples. And they murmured against her ἐνεβριμῶντο); another very expressive verb in the original, they growled at her; rebuked her vehemently.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) For more than three hundred pence.--The specific mention of the sum, not given by St. Matthew, is one of the few points common to St. Mark and St. John (John 12:5).
