John 12:4-8

4One of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray him, asked,

5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for a high price and the money given to the poor?”

6(Judas didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and carried the contributions.)

7Jesus said to Judas, “Leave her alone! She has done this to prepare me for the day I will be placed in a tomb.

8You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me with you.”
