John 12:5-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. “Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days’ wages and given to the poor?”

6. He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions.

7. So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial.

8. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”

9. [The] large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

10. And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,

11. because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
