Bible Note: Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible Comments on this verse.. "2. That the memorial of it should be honorable (v. 13); 'This shall be told for a memorial.' This act of faith and love was so remarkable, that the preachers of Christ crucified, and the inspired writers of the history of his passion, could not choose but take notice of this passage, proclaim the notice of it, and perpetuate the memorial of it. And being once enrolled in these records, it was graven as with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever, and could not possibly be forgotten. None of all the trumpets of fame sound so loud and so long as the everlasting gospel. Note, (1). The story of the death of Christ, though a tragical one, is gospel, glad-tidings, because he died for us. (2). The gospel was to be preached in the whole world; not in Judea only, but in every nation, to every creature. Let the disciples take notice of this, for their encouragement, that their sound should go to the ends of the earth. (3). Though the honor of Christ is principally designed in the gospel, yet the honor of his saints and servants is not altogether overlooked. The memorial of this woman was to be preserved, not by dedicating a church to her, or keeping an annual feast in honor of her, or preserving a piece of her broken box for a sacred relic; but by mentioning her faith and piety in the preaching of the gospel, for example to others, Heb. 6:12. Hereby honor redounds to Christ Himself, who in this world, as well as in that to come, will be glorified in His saints, and admired in all them that believe." |
