Matthew 26:1-16
It happened,
when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,
"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son
of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were
gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and
kill him.
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the
people."
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, a
woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she
poured it on his head as he sat at the table. But when his disciples saw this,
they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the
poor."
But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the
woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
For you always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me.
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for
burial.
Most assuredly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in the
whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of
her."
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the
chief priests,
and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver
him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Insight- When Jesus was anointed by a woman with a very expensive
perfume, the disciples commented that it could have been sold and the proceeds
given to the poor, but Jesus remarked that the woman had done a very
significant thing, for in pouring the ointment on his body, she had prepared
him for his burial.
Question- What do you do to show your love for your Savior?
Prayer- Dear Father in heaven, let my heart be filled with gratitude
to you always for sacrificing your son Jesus for my salvation. In Jesus name.
Amen.
