St John 12:4-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6. Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

7. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

8. For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

9. A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
