John 12:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ (He didn’t say this because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief. He kept the common purse, and used to help himself to what was in it.)

⁷ “Let her alone,” replied Jesus. “She’s been keeping it for the day of my burial! ⁸ You always have the poor with you, but you won’t always have me.”
