But Judas Iscariot, one of His (Jesus) twelve disciples (he who was to betray Him), said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denari and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief and as he had the money box, and he used to take what was put into it. John 12:4 – 6
Lord Mary had done a beautiful thing in washing Your feet with very expensive ointment and then drying your feet with her hair. Judas on the other hand was so money hungry that he was upset with Mary for not giving the money to the poor. Really not putting the money into the money box so he could take what he wanted. He was a thief.
Lord it is hard to understand why Judas was evil when he had walked with You and seen You doing miracles. By all rights he should have been one of the first to turn to You.
