4 Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him:
5 Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore?
6 Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen.
