Exegesis
A new finite clause is then introduced with kai enebrimōnto autē {καὶ ἐνεβριμῶντο αὐτῇ | kaí e-ne-bri-mōn-to au-tê}, where the imperfect middle enebrimōnto portrays ongoing or repeated scolding toward “her” (autē, dative of reference), reflecting sustained indignation. In translation, the sequence of infinitives is preserved by “could have been sold” and “and given,” while the imperfects are expressed by “could have been” (unrealized possibility) and “began to scold” or “harshly criticized” (progressive hostile reaction). The prepositional genitive of price is rendered idiomatically as “for more than / over three hundred denarii” to reflect economic value clearly in English.
In context — Mark 14:5
For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor ; and they began to scold her .
