John 12:5 in Context — John 12
3 Tomando então Maria um arrátel de óleo perfumado de nardo puro, de muito preço, ungiu os pés de Jesus, e limpou os pés dele com seus cabelos; e encheu-se a casa do cheiro do óleo perfumado.
4 Então disse Judas de Simão Iscariotes, um de seus discípulos, o que o trairia:
5 Por que se não vendeu este óleo perfumado por trezentos dinheiros, e se deu aos pobres?
6 E isto disse ele, não pelo cuidado que tivesse dos pobres; mas porque era ladrão, e tinha a bolsa, e trazia o que se lançava [nela] .
7 Disse pois Jesus: Deixa-a; para o dia de meu sepultamento guardou isto.
