4. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6. Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
7. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8. For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
