4 A disciple named Judas Iscariot was there. He was the one who was going to betray Jesus, and he asked,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?”
6 Judas did not really care about the poor. He asked this because he carried the moneybag and sometimes would steal from it.
7 Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! She has kept this perfume for the day of my burial.
8 You will always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.”
9 A lot of people came when they heard that Jesus was there. They also wanted to see Lazarus, because Jesus had raised him from death.
10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus.
