26:6-13 A similar anointing took place earlier in Galilee (Luke 7:36-50). Matthew’s insertion of the episode at this point (cp. John 12:1-8) sets the Jewish leaders’ murderous plotting (Matt 26:3-5) and Judas’s betrayal (26:14-16) in sharp contrast to the woman’s praiseworthy actions. 26:6 Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy: Jesus’ presence in the man’s home exhibited the forgiving, healing love Jesus often showed toward outcasts (see 8:7; 9:10).
