John 12:7

In context

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. 7Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial. 8The poor you always have with you; me you do not always have.” 9A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came — not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
