John 12:5
| ← John 12:4 | John 12:5 (KJV) | John 12:6 → |
|---|---|---|
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
|
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
|
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
