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.
KJV
Greek original
εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ ἀλλ’ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἔχων τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν
Louis Segond 1910

KJV
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.
