4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?
6 Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
