6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don`t always have me."
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus` sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests conspired to also put Lazarus to death,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
