Mark 14:5 in Context — Mark 14

3 E estando ele em Betânia, na casa de Simão o Leproso, sentado [à mesa] , veio uma mulher, que tinha um vaso de alabastro, de óleo perfumado de nardo puro, de muito preço, e quebrando o vaso de alabastro, derramou-o sobre a cabeça dele.

4 E houve alguns que em si mesmos se indignaram, e disseram: “Para que foi feito este desperdício do óleo perfumado?

5 Porque isto podia ter sido vendido por mais de trezentos denários, e seria dado aos pobres.” E reclamavam contra ela.

6 Porém Jesus disse: “Deixai-a; por que a incomodais? Ela me fez boa obra.
