ACC ~ Mark 14 v7

HIS VISITATION BRIEF

BEDE: [Jesus] was going to remain bodily with the church for but a brief while, whereas the poor, for whom alms could be provided, were always to be found in it. EXPOSITION ON THE GOSPEL OF MARK 2.4. [1]

[1] Cetedoc 1367, 2.4.169; HOG 2:39. Jesus could not be bodily always with his disciples, whom he had to die to save. Yet under the continuing conditions of sin in history, the poor will always be there to receive our gifts.
