For you always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me.

Truly I tell you, wherever the good news[a] is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.’

The poor you will always have with you,[a] and you can help them any time you want.(A) But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.(B) Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world,(C) what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
