This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This waste (hē apōleia hautē). Dead loss (apōleia) they considered it, nothing but sentimental aroma. It was a cruel shock to Mary of Bethany to hear this comment. Matthew does not tell as John does (Joh 12:4) that it was Judas who made the point which the rest endorsed. Mark explains that they mentioned “three hundred pence,” while Matthew (Mat 26:9) only says “for much” (pollou).
