SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:13
De cierto os digo, que dondequiera que este Evangelio fuere predicado en todo el mundo, tambin ser dicho para memoria de ella, lo que sta ha hecho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:13
Verse 13. Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached] Another remarkable proof of the prescience of Christ. Such a matter as this, humanly speaking, depended on mere fortuitous circumstances, yet so has God disposed matters, that the thing has continued, hitherto, as firm and regular as the ordinances of heaven. For a memorial of her.] As embalming preserves the body from corruption, and she has done this good work to embalm and preserve this body, so will I order every thing concerning this transaction to be carefully recorded, to preserve her memory to the latest ages. The actions which the world blames, through the spirit of envy, covetousness, or malice, God takes delight to distinguish and record.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Verily I say unto you , etc.] The following words are prefaced in this manner, to excite attention, and command belief: wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world . The Syriac version reads it, ytrbs , my Gospel; and so the Persic version; and has respect chiefly to the doctrine of his death, burial, and resurrection, which this action of the woman had relation to; for though the incarnation of Christ, and all the actions of his life, and whatsoever he did for the good, and in the room and stead of his people, are good news and glad tidings to the sons of men, and so the Gospel; yet his dying for sin, and making atonement for it, thereby satisfying justice, fulfilling the law, destroying death, and him that had the power of it, and his lying in the grave, and leaving the sins of his people behind him, and rising again for their justification, which were the ends of his coming into the world, make up the most glorious and principal part of the Gospel: and these words of Christ show that this Gospel should be preached; for which purpose he gave a commission and gifts to his disciples, and has done so, more or less, to men, ever since, for the conversion of sinners, and the edification of saints, and the glory of his name; and that this Gospel shall be preached all over the world, as it was by the apostles, agreeably to the commission; and will be again, towards the close of time, when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord and then there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her ; of her faith, love, and gratitude; for the memory of the just is blessed, and the righteous are had in everlasting remembrance. Christ suggests, that, though the disciples blamed this action, it should be spoken of by others to her praise and commendation, in all succeeding ages, throughout the world: a good name, the wise man says, is better than precious ointment, ( Ecclesiastes 7:1). This woman got a good name, and obtained a good report by her precious ointment; and if this womans action was to be told for a memorial of her, much more what Christ has done and suffered should be told as a memorial of him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-13 - The pouring ointment upon the head of Christ was a token of the highes respect. Where there is true love in the heart to Jesus Christ, nothin will be thought too good to bestow upon him. The more Christ's servant and their services are cavilled at, the more he manifests his acceptance. This act of faith and love was so remarkable, that it woul be reported, as a memorial of Mary's faith and love, to all futur ages, and in all places where the gospel should be preached. Thi prophecy is fulfilled.
