4But 1JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, oneG1520 of His disciplesG3101, who was intendingG3195 to 2betrayG3860 Him, saidG3004, 5“WhyG1223G5101 was thisG3778 perfumeG3464 not soldG4097 for 3threeG5145 hundredG5145 denariiG1220 and givenG1325 to poorG4434 people?” 6NowG1161 he saidG3004 thisG3778, not becauseG3754 he was concernedG3199 aboutG4012 the poorG4434, but becauseG3754 he was a thiefG2812, and as he 4hadG2192 the moneyG1101 boxG1101, he used to pilferG941 5what was putG906 into it. 7ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “LetG863 her aloneG863, soG2443 that she may keepG5083 6it for 7the dayG2250 of My burialG1780. 88For you alwaysG3842 haveG2192 the poorG4434 with you, but you do not alwaysG3842 haveG2192 Me.”
