Jn 12:4: Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

Jn 12:5: Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

Jn 12:6: This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Jn 12:7: Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

Jn 12:8: For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Jn 12:9: Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
