NASB
""For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.""
— Matthew 26:9, NASB
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. ”
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."”
“It could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor!””
“For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
“For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.”
“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,
a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.
But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?
"For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.
"For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.
"For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.
