John 12:6-8
Wycliffe Bible
6 But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.
7 Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;
8 for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not evermore have me.[a]

6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(A) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(B) 8 You will always have the poor among you,[a](C) but you will not always have me.”
