There will always be some Israelites who are poor and in need, and so I command you to be generous to them.

You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me.

You will always have poor people with you, and any time you want to, you can help them. But you will not always have me.

Jesus answered, "The light will be among you a little longer. Continue on your way while you have the light, so that the darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.

Again Jesus said to them, "I will go away; you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot go where I am going."

My children, I shall not be with you very much longer. You will look for me; but I tell you now what I told the Jewish authorities, 'You cannot go where I am going.'

But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me where I am going.

But I am telling you the truth: it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you.

I opened the door for my lover, but he had already gone. How I wanted to hear his voice! I looked for him, but couldn't find him; I called to him, but heard no answer.

and said, "Galileans, why are you standing there looking up at the sky? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you saw him go to heaven."
