John 12:6
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

וְלָרָשָׁע׀ אָמַר אֱלֹהִים מַה-לְּךָ לְסַפֵּר חֻקָּי וַתִּשָּׂא בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי-פִֽיךָ׃
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
τινὲς γὰρ ἐδόκουν ἐπεὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον εἶχεν ὁ Ἰούδας ὅτι λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀγόρασον ὧν χρείαν ἔχομεν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν ἢ τοῖς πτωχοῖς ἵνα τι δῷ
For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠτιμάσατε τὸν πτωχόν οὐχ οἱ πλούσιοι καταδυναστεύουσιν ὑμῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἕλκουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς κριτήρια
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
ἐὰν γὰρ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς τήν συναγωγὴν ὑμῶν ἀνὴρ χρυσοδακτύλιος ἐν ἐσθῆτι λαμπρᾷ εἰσέλθῃ δὲ καὶ πτωχὸς ἐν ῥυπαρᾷ ἐσθῆτι
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
וַיֹּאמֶר גֵּֽיחֲזִי נַעַר אֱלִישָׁע אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים הִנֵּה׀ חָשַׂךְ אֲדֹנִי אֶֽת-נַעֲמָן הָֽאֲרַמִּי הַזֶּה מִקַּחַת מִיָּדוֹ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הֵבִיא חַי-יְהוָה כִּֽי-אִם-רַצְתִּי אַֽחֲרָיו וְלָֽקַחְתִּי מֵֽאִתּוֹ מְאֽוּמָה׃
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
μόνον τῶν πτωχῶν ἵνα μνημονεύωμεν ὃ καὶ ἐσπούδασα αὐτὸ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
οὔτε κλέπται οὔτε πλεονέκται οὔτε μέθυσοι οὐ λοίδοροι οὐχ ἅρπαγες βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
יֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק דִּין דַּלִּים רָשָׁע לֹא-יָבִין דָּֽעַת׃
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
אָמַר נָבָל בְּלִבּוֹ אֵין אֱלֹהִים הִֽשְׁחִיתוּ הִֽתְעִיבוּ עֲלִילָה אֵין עֹֽשֵׂה-טֽוֹב׃
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
וָֽאַבְדִּילָה מִשָּׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר לְשֵׁרֵֽבְיָה חֲשַׁבְיָה וְעִמָּהֶם מֵֽאֲחֵיהֶם עֲשָׂרָֽה׃
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
וְיָבוֹאוּ אֵלֶיךָ כִּמְבוֹא-עָם וְיֵשְׁבוּ לְפָנֶיךָ עַמִּי וְשָֽׁמְעוּ אֶת-דְּבָרֶיךָ וְאוֹתָם לֹא יַֽעֲשׂוּ כִּֽי-עֲגָבִים בְּפִיהֶם הֵמָּה עֹשִׂים אַחֲרֵי בִצְעָם לִבָּם הֹלֵֽךְ׃
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
כִּֽי-לְעֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה יִתְּנֻהוּ וְחִזְּקוּ-בוֹ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ χειροτονηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν συνέκδημος ἡμῶν σὺν τῇ χάριτι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ' ἡμῶν πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ κυρίου δόξαν καὶ προθυμίαν ὑμῶν
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Γέγραπται Ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
ὁ δὲ μισθωτός φεύγει ὅτι μισθωτὸς ἐστιν καὶ οὐ μέλει αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν προβάτων
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
πάντες ὅσοι πρὸ ἐμοῦ ἦλθον κλέπται εἰσὶν καὶ λῃσταί ἀλλ' οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τὰ πρόβατα
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
