John 12:6

He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

Not that he cared for the poor—he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples’ money, he often stole some for himself.

(Now he said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)

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.
