John 12:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot(A) (who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii[a](B) and given to the poor?” 6 He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief.(C) He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

New International Version
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(A) objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[a]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(B) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
