V.1-2 With great calmness the Lord tells the disciples for the fourth and last time what is about to happen. The True Passover was to be sacrificed — the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.
V.6-13 The same person Mary, sister of Lazarus as in John 12, but here the attention is more on Jesus.
V.8-11 Spending anything on Jesus is a waste in the eyes of the world.
V.14-16 The complete contrast with Mary. Judas, possibly seeing all this money wasted, is roused to carry out his dreadful deed — the betrayal of our blessed Lord. Compare this with Exodus 21:32, the same amount that the Lord was sold to Judas for.
V.17-29 The Lord now institutes the supper. What an experience for His disciples to hear Him speak these words. Do we respond according to the Scriptures?
V.30-35 They hear further words from His lips as to what was to happen, yet they didn’t believe that He was going to rise from the dead.
