Matthew 26:12

Matthew 26:12

10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.

11 ^aFor you have the poor with you always, but ^bMe you do not have always.

12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My ^aburial.

13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

14 ^aThen one of the twelve, called ^bJudas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 26:11

Matthew 26:13 >>

She hath done it for my burial - As it were for the embalming of my body. Indeed this was not her design: but our Lord puts this construction upon it, to confirm thereby what he had before said to his disciples, concerning his approaching death.
