Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:6-13

Matthew 26:6-1 Chronicles : . The Anointing of Jesus ( Mark 13:3-1 Samuel : *)— Mt. follows Mk. very closely, though abbreviating somewhat, e.g. in Matthew 26:7; Matthew 26:9; Matthew 26:11. It is the Fourth Gospel that assigns the anointing to Mary of Bethany and the remonstrance to Judas. In Mk. it is “ some,” in Mt. “ the disciples,” who grumble— thus there is a gradual defining of the culprit. In Mt. Jesus does not hear the murmuring, but “ perceives” it. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:6-13

This piece of history (or one very like it) is recorded by the three other evangelists. Mark hath it with very little difference, Mark 14:3-9. Instead of for much, Mark 14:9, Mark hath a precise sum, three hundred pence, and adds, they murmured against her; and some other little differences he hath in words rather than in sense. In Luke, Luke 7:36-38, we read, One of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. This seemeth... read more

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:2. The feast of the Passover commemorated the deliverance of Israel from the Egyptian bondage. The ordinances of the first Passover are narrated Exodus 12:1-14, but some of those were modified in later times. The regular celebration of the Passover was part of the religious revival after the return from captivity (Carr).Matthew 26:3. The chief priests, etc.—The meeting now assembled may have been either a formal session of the Sanhedrin or an informal conference of its... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:6-13

Matthew 26:6-13 The Alabaster Box. Here is a woman probably a poor woman doing an action which excites the indignation of the whole Church. Not a voice is heard in her favour except sublime exception! the voice of Jesus. In such circumstances there must be something worth looking at. A minority which God approves must not be overlooked with heedlessness and contempt. The wisdom in this case is with the few, and the folly with the many; the wisdom is with love, not policy, with gratitude, not... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 26:7

head No contradiction of John 12:3 is implied. The ordinary anointing of hospitality and honour was of the feet Luke 7:38 and head Luke 7:46 But Mary of Bethany, who alone of our Lord's disciples had comprehended His thrice repeated announcement of His coming death and resurrection, invested the anointing with the deeper meaning of the preparation of His body for burying. Mary of Bethany was not among the women who went to the sepulchre with intent to embalm the body of Jesus. woman i.e. Mary... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Matthew 26:7-13

Good Work by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) Matthew 26:7-13 A woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor." Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings ( Matthew 26:1 ),This is the end of now the Olivet discourse.He now said to his disciples, Now you know that in two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified ( Matthew 26:1-2 ).Now this is interesting, because this apparently was on Monday, that Jesus gave the Olivet discourse. He had made His triumphant entry on Sunday, which is known as Palm Sunday, and then the next day He came back into... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 26:1-75

Matthew 26:2 . After two day is the passover. This is the literal import of the Greek word πασχα pascha, and the Hebrew word פסח pesach, because the Israelites, after eating the paschal lamb, passed over the Red sea. The jews had a tradition, probably from the prophets, that they should be delivered at the passover, which tradition is still in the Cabalists. And it is very remarkable, that Christ should redeem the world at the very festival when he redeemed the Hebrews from Egypt. He is... read more

Matthew 26:6-13Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.Christ anointed for His burialLet us endeavour to find out what was the latent virtue in the apparently simple act which won so noble a reward.I. There can be no doubt that the majority of Christians would express surprise at the high honour promised to Mary for so slight a service, She did not resign wealth. What she did was of no utility. In these days and in this land we have a narrow and prejudiced way of judging... read more

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, Ver. 6. Now when Jesus was in Bethany ] This history of a thing acted before Christ came to Jerusalem, comes in here somewhat out of place: to show the ground and occasion of Judas’ treason, which was discontent at the loss of such a prize, and our Saviour’s sharping him up for showing his dislike. In the house of Simon the leper ] A leper he had been, but was now healed, and haply by Christ: whom therefore he entertaineth in... read more
