Read John 12 in the BibleJohn 12:6
A thief.
Judas did not then first perish when he sold our Lord, for he was a thief before: and being lost he yet followed Christ, not in heart, but in body only. Which our Master tolerated, ◦ to give us a lesson to tolerate the ill, rather than divide the body. Aug. tract. 50 in Io.
- ◦ Toleration of evil.

John 12:5
Why was.
So wicked, covetous, and sacrilegious persons reprehend good men for bestowing their goods upon Church ornaments &c. ◦ under pretence of better bestowing them on the poor. Such provide for the poor as Judas did.
