But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it.
7 But Yeshua said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.

And I know that his commandment is life eternal. What things I speak therefore, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
