The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
σπουδάσω δὲ καὶ ἑκάστοτε ἔχειν ὑμᾶς μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τὴν τούτων μνήμην ποιεῖσθαι.

Haydock's commentary

That you frequently have after my decease,5 &c. Some expounded these words to signify: I will have you frequently in my thoughts, and remember you, praying for you after my death. But this does not seem the true and literal sense, nor do we need such arguments to prove that the saints pray for us. (Witham)

5 Dabo operam et frequenter habere vos, post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis. umas....ten touton mnemen poieisthai.
