Matthew 26:11 — Meaning and Application

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

When Jesus understood {it}, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did {it} for my burial.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, {there} shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
