5"Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute?"

5"Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

6He said this, not because he cared about the destitute, but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal what was put into it.

6He didn't say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

7Then Jesus said, "Leave her alone so she can observe the day of my burial,

7Jesus answered, "Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial.

8because you will always have the destitute with you, but you won't always have me."
