397th Post Jesus On His Own Rejection and Death Con't. - Natthew 26: 10 - 13

Matthew 26: 10 - 13; Mark 14: 3; John 12: 1 - 8.
Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.
This was spoken by Jesus two days before His crucifixion. Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and sister of Lazarus, (who was raised from the dead.) Judas took issue with the extravagance, of Mary's choice of perfume. You need to realize that Mary was very happy Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. They lived in Bethany, and were rich, so she could afford to give the gift. You have to remember that this takes place two days before Jesus is to be put to death. This is not the same anointing, of Jesus where a woman washed Jesus' feet with her tears and dried His feet with her hair. Jesus knew the hearts of the people who were in attendance, that is why He said "For you have the poor always, but Me you do not have always." Jesus was telling them that soon He will suffer and die; and He will be returning to Heaven. Jesus is still telling His followers that He is about to leave.
