ગુજરાતીયોહાન ૧૨:૬
હવે આ જે તેણે કહ્યું તેનું કારણ એ નહોતું કે તેને ગરીબોને માટે લાગણી હતી; પણ તે ચોર હતો અને થેલી રાખતો હતો. તેમાં જે નાખવામાં આવતું તે તે ચોરી લેતો હતો તે માટે કહ્યું.
हिन्दीयूहन्ना १२:६
उसने यह बात इसलिए न कही, कि उसे गरीबों की चिन्ता थी, परन्तु इसलिए कि वह चोर था और उसके पास उनकी थैली रहती थी, और उसमें जो कुछ डाला जाता था, वह निकाल लेता था।

In context

4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

6Now 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.

7But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
