ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૨૬:૧૧
કેમ કે ગરીબો સદા તમારી સાથે છે, પણ હું સદા તમારી સાથે નથી.
हिन्दीमत्ती २६:११
गरीब तुम्हारे साथ सदा रहते हैं, परन्तु मैं तुम्हारे साथ सदैव न रहूँगा।

In context

9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

10However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.

11For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.

12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

13Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
