The objection of Judas:

John 12:4-8

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, 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.

7 Then said Jesus,Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
