John 12:4-8
4ButG1161 oneG1520 ofG1537 HisG846 disciplesG3101, JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, whoG3588 was goingG3195 to betrayG3860 HimG846, askedG3004, 5“WhyG1223G5101 wasn’tG3756 thisG3778 perfumeG3464 soldG4097 for three hundredG5145 denariiG12201 andG2532 the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434?” 6Judas did not sayG2036G3756 thisG3778 becauseG3754 heG846 caredG3199 aboutG4012 theG3588 poorG4434, butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG1510 a thiefG2812. As keeperG2192 of theG3588 money bagG1101, he used to takeG941 from whatG3588 was put intoG906 it.
7“Leave her aloneG863G846,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “She has keptG5083 this perfume in preparationG2443 forG1519 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG3588 MyG1473 burialG1780. 8TheG3588 poorG4434 you will always haveG2192G3842 withG3326 youG1438,2 butG1161 you will notG3756 alwaysG3842 haveG2192 MeG1473.”
