Contextual Overview
1 Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death.Matthew 26:2; Luke 22:1; John 11:55; 13:1;">[xr] 2 For they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival, lest there be a riot among the people." 3 While Jesushe">[fn] was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper and sitting at the table, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.Matthew 26:6; Luke 7:37; John 12:1,3;">[xr] 4 Some who were there said to one another in irritation, "Why was the perfume wasted like this? 5 This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii[fn] and the moneythe money">[fn] given to the destitute."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Verily I say unto you,.... And you may assure yourselves of the truth of it:
wheresoever this Gospel, of the death and resurrection of Christ,
shall be preached throughout the whole world, as it shall be,
[this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her; in remembrance of her, and her work, and in commendation of her faith, love, and duty; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:1-16.
Mark 14:1
And of unleavened bread - So called because at that feast no other bread was used but that which had been made without leaven or yeast.
By craft - By subtlety (Matthew); that is, by some secret plan that would secure possession of him without exciting the opposition of the people.
Mark 14:3
Ointment - This word does not convey quite the proper meaning. This was a perfume. It was used only to give a pleasant odor, and was liquid.
Of spikenard - The “nard,” from which this perfume was made, is a plant of the East Indies, with a small, slender stalk, and a heavy, thick root. The best perfume is obtained from the root, though the stalk and fruit are used for that purpose.
And she brake the box - This may mean no more than that she broke the “seal” of the box, so that it could be poured out. Boxes of perfumes are often sealed or made fast with wax, to prevent the perfume from escaping. It was not likely that she would break the box itself when it was unnecessary, and when the unguent, being liquid, would have been wasted; nor from a broken box or vial could she easily have “poured it” on his head.
Mark 14:5
Three hundred pence - About forty dollars (or 9 British pounds). See the notes at Matthew 26:7.
Mark 14:8
She hath done what she could - She has showed the highest attachment in her power; and it was, as it is now, a sufficient argument against there being any “real” waste, that it was done for the honor of Christ. See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:1-16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 14:9. For a memorial of her. — Matthew 26:13; Matthew 26:13.
