5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
This he said, signifying what death he was about to die.
34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that the Christ remains forever: and how say you that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he going.

39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should give them health.
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.

And if any one hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.

For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
