The Last Supper
Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Matthew 26:13 · Berean Standard Bible
Jesus makes an astonishing promise: wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, people will tell what she did.
Think about that — this unnamed woman's act of love became so important to Jesus that He wove it into the gospel story forever.
Jesus speaks a prophecy that has been fulfilled for two thousand years and counting.
You are hearing her story right now, exactly as Jesus said you would. Her love was not wasted — it became immortal.
Jesus declares that wherever the gospel (euangelion) is preached globally, this woman's act will be recounted as a memorial (mnemosynon) — granting her deed permanent narrative significance.
This is a remarkable prophecy: Jesus guarantees that an unnamed woman's act of devotion will be inseparable from the proclamation of the gospel itself throughout history.
Jesus makes a solemn prophetic declaration about the woman's enduring legacy.
Two millennia later, we are still telling her story — exactly as Jesus promised. Her extravagant love became part of the gospel itself.
11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
12By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
Read all of Matthew 26 — Bread broken. Wine poured. A betrayal predicted. The longest night in history begins around a table.
