Matthew 26:13

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

15 and said, ^a“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

Matthew 26:13

Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached - Another remarkable proof of the prescience of Christ. Such a matter as this, humanly speaking, depended on mere fortuitous circumstances, yet so has God disposed matters, that the thing has continued, hitherto, as firm and regular as the ordinances of heaven.

For a memorial of her - As embalming preserves the body from corruption, and she has done this good work to embalm and preserve this body, so will I order every thing concerning this transaction to be carefully recorded, to preserve her memory to the latest ages. The actions which the world blames, through the spirit of envy, covetousness, or malice, God takes delight to distinguish and record.
