John 12:8
Douay-Rheims
For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. lxv. 2) Again, as if to remind His betrayer, He alludes to His burial; For the poor ye have always with you, but Me ye have not always: as if He said, I am a burden, a trouble to thee; but wait a little, and I shall be gone.
