John 12:7 in Context — John 12

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.

9 Entonces mucha gente de los Judíos entendió que él estaba allí; y vinieron no solamente por causa de Jesús, mas también por ver á Lázaro, al cual había resucitado de los muertos.
