MARK—NOTE ON Mark 14:6 anointed... beforehand for burial. With this remark, Jesus again predicts his death (compare Mark 8:31; Mark 9:30; Mark 10:33). you always have the poor with you. Believers should do good for the poor, without expecting to completely eradicate poverty in this age (compare Deuteronomy 15:11). The inclusion of this story in the written Gospels fulfills Jesus’ prediction that the story would be told wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world.
