MATTHEW 26:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor. The disciples' alternative use for the ointment: sold, given to the poor. The concern for the poor is a genuine concern — Jesus himself prioritized care for the poor throughout his ministry. But the disciples' objection misses the significance of the moment: what the woman is doing is not waste but the most fitting act possible.
