4 Y dijo uno de sus discípulos, Judas Iscariote, [hijo] de Simón, el que le había de entregar:

5 ¿Por qué no se ha vendido este ungüento por trescientos dineros, y se dió á los pobres?

6 Mas dijo esto, no por el cuidado que él tenía de los pobres; sino porque era ladrón, y tenía la bolsa, y traía lo que se echaba en ella.

7 Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala: para el día de mi sepultura ha guardado esto;

8 Porque á los pobres siempre los tenéis con vosotros, mas á mí no siempre me tenéis.
