Exegesis
The phrase kalon ergon ergasato {καλὸν ἔργον ἠργάσατο | ka-lón érg-on ēr-gá-sa-to} consists of an adjective–noun object followed by an aorist middle verb. Fronting kalon before ergon accentuates the quality of the deed as morally and aesthetically “good,” while the middle voice of ergasato underscores the woman’s personal involvement in performing the act.
In context — Mark 14:6
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why do you cause her trouble ? She has done a good work for Me.”
