John 12:6
4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
