SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:5

¿Por qu no se ha vendido este ungento por trescientos denarios, y se dio a los pobres?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:5

Verse 5. Three
hundred pence] Or denarii: about 9. 13s. 9d. of our money; reckoning the denarius at 7 3/4d. One of my MSS. of the Vulgate (a MS. of the 14th century) reads, cccc denarii.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 5. Why was not this
ointment sold for three hundred pence , etc.] Meaning Roman pence, one of which is, of the value of our money, seven pence halfpenny; so that three hundred pence amount to nine pounds seven shillings and six pence: and given to the poor ? this was his pretence, and with which he covered himself; his uneasiness was, because it was not sold, and the money put into his hands, as appears by what follows.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 -
Christ had formerly blamed Martha for being troubled with much serving But she did not leave off serving, as some, who when found fault with for going too far in one way, peevishly run too far another way; sh still served, but within hearing of Christ's gracious words. Mary gav a token of love to Christ, who had given real tokens of his love to he and her family. God's Anointed should be our Anointed. Has God poure on him the oil of gladness above his fellows, let us pour on him the ointment of our best affections. In Judas a foul sin is gilded ove with a plausible pretence. We must not think that those do n acceptable service, who do it not in our way. The reigning love of money is heart-theft. The grace of Christ puts kind comments on piou words and actions, makes the best of what is amiss, and the most of what is good. Opportunities are to be improved; and those first an most vigorously, which are likely to be the shortest. To consult to hinder the further effect of the miracle, by putting Lazarus to death is such wickedness, malice, and folly, as cannot be explained, excep by the desperate enmity of the human heart against God. They resolve that the man should die whom the Lord had raised to life. The succes of the gospel often makes wicked men so angry, that they speak and ac as if they hoped to obtain a victory over the Almighty himself.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

5. Three
hundred pence (triakosiwn dhnariwn). Or three hundred denarii. On the denarius, see on Matt. xx. 2. Mark says more than three hundred pence. Three hundred denarii would be about fifty dollars, or twice that amount if we reckon according to the purchasing power. The poor (ptwcoiv). See on Matt. v. 3. No article: to poor people.
