John 12:4

In context

2There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him. 3Then Mary took a pound of pure nard, a costly perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus, and dried his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples — the one who was going to betray him — said, 5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” 6He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief: he kept the money box, and he used to help himself to what was put into it.
