John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:12

For in that she hath poured this ointment ,.... Which was so very precious, and cost so much, upon my body : for being poured on his head, it ran down all over his body. She did it for my burial ; not for the interment of his body, but for the embalming of it, previous to it: the Jews used to embalm their dead, to show their constant respect to the deceased, and their belief of the resurrection; at least not only used to wash them, but anoint them with oil; for so runs one of their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:13

Verily I say unto you ,.... The following words are prefaced in this manner, to excite attention, and command belief: wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world . The Syriac version reads it, סברתי , "my Gospel"; and so the Persic version; and has respect chiefly to the doctrine of his death, burial, and resurrection, which this action of the woman had relation to; for though the incarnation of Christ, and all the actions of his life, and whatsoever he did for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:14

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot ,.... Who was provoked and exasperated, to the last degree, by this action of the woman, and Christ's defence of it, and because the ointment was not sold, and the money put into his hand; and being instigated by Satan, who had now entered into him, formed a scheme in his mind to betray his master, and was resolved to put it in execution, whereby he might, in some measure, satisfy both his avarice and revenge; and, as an aggravation of this his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:6

In Bethany - For a solution of the difficulties in this verse, about the time of the anointing, see the observations at the end of this chapter. Simon the Leper - This was probably no more than a surname, as Simon the Canaanite, Matthew 10:4 , and Barsabas Justus, Acts 1:23 , and several others. Yet it might have been some person that Christ had healed of this disease. See Matthew 11:5 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:7

There came unto him a woman - There is much contention among commentators about the transaction mentioned here, and in John 12:3 ; some supposing them to be different, others to be the same. Bishop Newcome's view of the subject I have placed at the end of the chapter. Some think that the woman mentioned here was Mary, the sister of Lazarus; others Mary Magdalene; but against the former opinion it is argued that it is not likely, had this been Mary the sister of Lazarus, that Matthew and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:8

His disciples - One of them, viz. Judas. This mode of speaking was common among the Hebrews. So, Matthew 27:44 , the thieves also, i.e. one of them. So, Matthew 28:17 , some doubted, i.e. one, Thomas. See also Genesis 8:4 ; Judges 12:7 ; Nehemiah 6:7 , etc. By a figure called among rhetoricians enallagè , the plural is put for the singular; it is, however, possible that Judas, who made the objection, was followed in the sentiment by the rest of the disciples. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:9

And given to the poor - How often does charity serve as a cloak for covetousness! God is sometimes robbed of his right under the pretense of devoting what is withheld to some charitable purpose, to which there was no intention ever to give it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:10

Why trouble ye the woman? - Or, Why do ye put the woman to pain? See this sense of κοπους παρεχειν , established by Kypke in loco. A generous mind is ever pained when it is denied the opportunity of doing good, or when its proffered kindness is refused. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:11

Ye have the poor always with you - And, consequently, have the opportunity of doing them good at any time; but me ye have not always; my bodily presence is about to be removed from you for ever. The woman, under a presentiment of my death is preparing me for my burial. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:12

She did it for my burial - Or, She hath done it to embalm me - ενταφιασαι με . The Septuagint use ενταφιαϚης for the person whose office it was to embalm, Genesis 50:2 , and ενταφιαζω for the Hebrew הנט which signifies to prepare with spices, or aromatics, Genesis 50:3 . Our Lord took this opportunity to tell them, once more, that he was shortly to die. read more
