Matthew 26:1-13

Listen to Matthew 26:1-13

1 And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

2 After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

3 Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

4 And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

5 But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

8 But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.

10 But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

11 For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

12 For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

13 Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Part 2

Jeff Johnson

If you’re a regular listener, you know we’ve spent several months going verse by verse through the gospel of Matthew. We’ve now reached a pivotal section in this account of the Lord’s earthly life and ministry. In chapter sixteen a plot against Jesus begins to unfold, and we have a very touching scene where Mary is worshipping at the feet of Jesus. While some were critical of her thinking it was a waste, Jesus saw it for what it truly was… worship. And it should inspire us all to do the same.
