Commentary on Matthew 26:11

Theological / Devotional

The poor always. Jesus does not question our duty to the poor, He simply declares that there are obligations that transcend this duty.

Not always. Even Jesus’ closest associates did not sense what another week would bring forth! Only Mary seemed to understand, albeit dimly, what lay ahead (see DA 559). Her earnest desire to do “what she could” (Mark 14:8) was highly valued by Jesus as He faced the hour of crisis that lay ahead.
