Verse 13
The "gospel" or good news to which Jesus referred was probably the good news about His death, namely, that it is the basis for salvation (Matthew 26:12). This is probably not a reference to the gospel of the kingdom. In either case Mary’s act has become a part of the gospel story in the larger sense because the Holy Spirit preserved the record of it in Scripture. Jesus introduced this prediction with His characteristic phrase that highlighted something especially important: "Truly I say to you" or "I tell you the truth."
