For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor. But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me. For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever. For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said, Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor? (He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.) Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death. The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever. Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me. You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.
