Matthew 26:10 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. Why trouble ye the woman? - Or, Why do ye put the woman to pain? See this sense of κοπους παρεχειν, established by Kypke in loco. A generous mind is ever pained when it is denied the opportunity of doing good, or when its proffered kindness is refused.
