Matthew 26:1-13

Listen to Matthew 26:1-13

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,

2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

5 But they said, "Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people."

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

7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

8 But when the disciples saw it, they were angry and said, "Why this waste?

9 For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor."

10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me.

11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.

12 By pouring this ointment on my body she has prepared me for burial.

13 Truly I tell you, wherever this good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance 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.
