I read Matthew 26 today, I was struck by some of the verses that the Lord knew what was ahead of Him.
2 “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
53 “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
54 “How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.
56 “But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
and this about the woman who poured oil over Jesus’ feet,
13 “Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
The woman is still remembered….
