John 12:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Jesus said in response, “Leave her alone! Let her keep it for the day of my burial. ⁸ The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.”

⁹ Meanwhile, a large number of Jews learned that he was there, and they came not only because of Jesus but also because they wanted to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
