Exegesis
The negative particle ouk {οὐκ | ouk} precedes the finite verb eprathē {ἐπράθη | e-prá-thē} “was sold,” creating a negated aorist passive that presents a hypothetical past action that did not occur.
In context — John 12:5
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii , and given to the poor ?
