Commentary on Matthew 26:13

Theological / Devotional

Verily. See on ch. 5:18.

This gospel. Jesus clearly anticipated the proclamation of His “gospel” (see on Mark 1:1) everywhere (see also Matt. 24:14). Those who affirm that Jesus never intended to found a religion would do well to ponder this statement.

A memorial of her. Or, “in memory of her” (RSV). Mary’s act of devotion reflected the very same spirit that had prompted Jesus to come down to this dark earth (Phil. 2:6-8).
