Exegesis
The construction ouch hoti {οὐχ ὅτι | oukh hó-ti} introduces a negated causal clause, “not because,” denying the stated motive.
In context — John 12:6
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 carry off what was being put into it.
