John 12:6

---

← John 12:5	John 12:6 (KJV)	John 12:7 [words of Jesus] →
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?	This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.	Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
