⁸ For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”

¹¹ For ^(A)there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ^(B)‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

⁷ For ^(A)you always have the poor with you, and whenever ^(B)you want, you can do good for them. But ^(C)you will not always have me.

³³ Little children, ^(A)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^(B)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’

³⁵ So Jesus said to them, ^(A)“The light is among you ^(B)for a little while longer. ^(C)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness ^(D)overtake you. ^(E)The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

¹¹ For ^(A)you always have the poor with you, but ^(B)you will not always have me.

⁹ And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, ^(A)he was lifted up, and ^(B)a cloud took him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, ^(C)two ^(D)men stood by them in ^(E)white robes, ¹¹ and said, ^(F)“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, ^(G)will ^(H)come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

²¹ So he said to them again, ^(A)“I am going away, and ^(B)you will seek me, and ^(C)you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

⁵ But now ^(A)I am going to him who sent me, and ^(B)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(C)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(D)if I do not go away, ^(E)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(F)if ^(G)I go, ^(H)I will send him to you.
