For the poor always you have with you; but me you have not always.
All Commentaries on John 12:8 Go To John 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Me you have not always with you. He speaks of his corporal presence; for by his majesty, by his providence, by his ineffable and invincible grace, he ever fulfils what he said, (Matthew xxviii.) Behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (St. Augustine, tract. 50 in Joan.)
