Why did Judas criticize Mary's act?

Answered in 1 source

Judas criticized Mary out of greed and hypocrisy, revealing his lack of true devotion to Christ.

Judas Iscariot's criticism of Mary's act of anointing Jesus reveals his character and motivations. In John 12:4-6, it is evident that Judas did not genuinely care for the poor; rather, he was a thief who sought to line his own pockets. His complaint about the waste of expensive ointment indicates a stark contrast to Mary's heart of worship. Jesus' rebuke of Judas reinforced the value of genuine love and devotion toward Christ over material considerations. This moment serves as a caution for Christians today to examine their own motivations and priorities in their service to Christ and His people.
