And [although he] was deeply grieved, the king, because of his oaths and {dinner guests}, did not want to refuse her.

But he answered [and] said to them, "You give them [something] to eat." And they said to him, "Should we go [and] purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give [it] to them to eat?"

For this perfumed oil could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor!" And they began to scold her.
