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

Ihr habt allezeit Arme bei euch, und wenn ihr wollt, könnt ihr ihnen Gutes tun; mich aber habt ihr nicht allezeit.
Que siempre tendréis los pobres con vosotros, y cuando quisiereis les podréis hacer bien; mas a mí no siempre me tendréis.
car vous avez toujours les pauvres avec vous, et vous pouvez leur faire du bien quand vous voulez, mais vous ne m'avez pas toujours.
Perciocchè, sempre avete i poveri con voi; e quando vorrete, potete far loro del bene; ma me non mi avete sempre.
Porque sempre tendes os pobres convosco, e podeis fazer-lhes bem, quando quiserdes; mas a mim nem sempre me tendes.
因為常有窮人和你們在一起,要向他們行善,隨時都可以,但是你們不常有我。
