'Poor' in the Bible

"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"

The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.

For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."

Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, "Buy what we require for the Festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
