João 12:8

Listen to João 12:8
8 Pois os pobres vocês sempre terão consigo, mas a mim vocês nem sempre terão”.

João 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:8

but me ye have not always;
meaning, with respect to his corporeal presence, which would be quickly withdrawn from them, when there would be no more an opportunity of showing him personal respect, in such a way.

10 Assim, os chefes dos sacerdotes fizeram planos para matar também Lázaro,
