“The poor will always be with you”.- Jesus
Deuteronomy 15:4 However, there should be no poor among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, 5 if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.
Effectively, what Messiah was saying is that the people will never follow the Law in spirit, much less by the letter.
