John 12:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “This ·perfume [ointment/fragrant oil] was worth an ·entire year’s wages [^Lthree hundred denarii]. Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor?” ⁶ But Judas did not really care about the poor; he said this because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the money ·box [or bag], and he often stole from it.

⁷ [^LTherefore] Jesus answered, “Leave her alone. It was right for her to save this perfume for today, the day for me to be prepared for burial.
