John 12:5

Jesus Is Anointed At Bethany

⁴ Then said one of His disciples (Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him) ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in.

Given to the Poor
