And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
All Commentaries on Mark 14:4 Go To Mark 14
Jerome
AD 420
To him [Judas], it seemed to be wasting the ointment because the jar is broken, but, for us, it was a great good because the perfume spread throughout the world. Why are you indignant, Judas, because the alabaster jar is broken? God, who made you and all the nations, is blessing us with that precious perfume. You wanted to keep the perfume sealed up so that it would not reach others. Homilies of Saint , Homily
