'Poor' in the Bible

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.)

The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.
