For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.

The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.

Διοτι τους πτωχους παντοτε εχετε μεθ' εαυτων, και οταν θελητε, δυνασθε να ευεργετησητε αυτους· εμε ομως παντοτε δεν εχετε.

For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
