4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
5 'Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?'
6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
7 But Jesus said: 'Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.'
