Then Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one about to betray Him, says:
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
Why was not this myrrh sold for three hundred denaria, and given to the poor?
6 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.
And He spoke this, not because there was a care to him for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and was carrying those things cast in.
7 Then said Yahushua, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

for you have the poor always with you; but you have not me always.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
But the chief priest passed an edict that they would also slay Lazarus;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Yahushua.

Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting upon the colt of a donkey.

Jesus responded and said, This voice was not on account of me, but on account of you.

While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may be the sons of light. And Jesus spoke these things, and having gone out was hidden from them.

Nevertheless indeed many of the rulers also believed on Him; but they were not confessing Him on account of the Pharisees, in order that they might not be put out of the synagogues:

Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios )
And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Now whatsoever thing I say, as the Father has spoken unto me, so I say. (aiōnios )
