Context Reading
5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denariiand given to the poor?” 6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. 7But Jesus said,“Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. 8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.” 9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
