Matthew 26:10-13 King James Version (KJV)
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Matthew 26:10-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for Me. 11 You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me. 12 By pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she has prepared Me for burial. 13 I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
10 Sometimes what we think is not needed is the only way others can show their love to Jesus, this woman may have felt there was nothing else she could do to serve Jesus, we often times expect people to do what we are doing but this often times is not where the Lord has them. To serve Jesus is to do good.
11 Jesus would soon go away, there is always going to be poor people, there will always be those that are sick and needed as long as the earth continues. Jesus was only on earth in human form for a short time.
12 Jesus would soon go to the cross and died he would have not had time for this, when this was done they would do this after the death which is what the women were doing on Resurrection morning so this woman was the only one to do this because no other time would happen for it to be done.
13 This woman is penned down in scripture so we know of her story still today, don’t know her name but know she gave her most priced possession to her Lord in service, we should be willing to do the same if He asks us to. It is more important for Jesus to know us than for men to remember us.
