And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, [7] There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table. [8] And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste? [9] For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. [10] And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
[11] For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. [12] For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial. [13] Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her. [14] Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, [15] And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
See, Judas was offended by Our Lord being given expensive gifts, just as the Judases of today are. Sad, but along with the poor, we will always have heretics, pagans and the Judas or two.
Ha, if only you were right...Judas, like the Catholic religion wants to keep the treasures for itself...None of that stuff is a gift to Jesus...What would he want it for...
HaHa...The women (unlike the Catholic religion) gave her treasure to Jesus to be used as an ointment for his burial...And he used it...Jesus doesn't use any of your gold and jewels...They are earthly treasures of your religion...
