Matthew 26:10

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

Ver. 10. Why trouble ye the woman? ] Christ will patronize his welldoers, and stick to them, though all forsake them, 2 Timothy 4:16-17 . He many times pleads for them in the consciences of their greatest enemies, who spend more thoughts about such than the world is aware of: and are "afraid of the name of God, whereby they are called," Deuteronomy 28:9-10 .
