John 12:7 - Forerunner Commentary

John 12:7

5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for¹ three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and ^ahad the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone;¹ she has kept this for the day of My burial.

8 For ^athe poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, ^awhom He had raised from the dead.
