John 12:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

⁷ Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

⁸ For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
