John 12:5 Douay-Rheims

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

Adam Clarke

1762–1832 Methodist

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.
