τοὺς πτωχοὺς & πάντοτε ἔχετε μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν
the poor & always ˱you_all˲_/are/_having with yourselves
Jesus implies that there will always be opportunities to help the poor. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “you always have the poor with you that you can help”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε
me but not always ˱you_all˲_/are/_having
Jesus implies that he will not always be with them, because he will die. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but I will not always be here with you”
12:8 Jesus would never neglect the poor, but this opportunity to serve him was unparalleled.
OET (OET-LV) For/Because you_all_are_ always _having the poor with yourselves, but you_all_are_ not always _having me.
