And truly I tell you
This phrase is a solemn affirmation by Jesus, often used to emphasize the importance and certainty of what He is about to say. The Greek word for "truly" is "ἀμὴν" (amen), which is a transliteration from Hebrew, meaning "so be it" or "truth." It underscores the authority and reliability of Jesus' words, inviting the listener to pay close attention to the profound truth He is about to reveal.

wherever the gospel is preached
The term "gospel" comes from the Greek "εὐαγγέλιον" (euangelion), meaning "good news." This phrase indicates the universal scope of the Christian message, which is to be proclaimed throughout the entire world. Historically, this reflects the missionary zeal of the early church, which sought to spread the teachings of Jesus to all nations, fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).

in all the world
The Greek word "κόσμος" (kosmos) is used here, signifying the entire inhabited earth. This phrase emphasizes the global reach and impact of the gospel message. It reflects the early Christian understanding that the message of Christ transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, uniting believers from every corner of the earth in a shared faith.

what she has done
This refers to the act of the woman who anointed Jesus with expensive perfume, as described earlier in the chapter. Her action is a profound expression of love, devotion, and sacrifice. The Greek verb "ποιέω" (poieo) means "to do" or "to make," highlighting the intentional and significant nature of her deed. Her act is a model of selfless worship and service to Christ.

will also be told
The future tense here indicates the enduring legacy of the woman's act. The Greek word "λαλέω" (laleo) means "to speak" or "to tell," suggesting that her account will be recounted and remembered as part of the gospel narrative. This underscores the idea that acts of faith and devotion have lasting significance in the kingdom of God.

in memory of her
The Greek word "μνημόσυνον" (mnemosynon) means "memorial" or "remembrance." This phrase signifies that the woman's act will be perpetually remembered and honored within the Christian community. It highlights the biblical principle that God values and remembers the faithful actions of His people, ensuring that their contributions to His kingdom are never forgotten.

Verse 9. - Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her (εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς). "Mnemosyne was the mother of the Muses, and so called because, before the invention of writing, a retentive memory was of the utmost value in every effort of literary genius" (Dr. Morison on St. Mark). When our Lord delivered this prediction, none of the Gospels had been written; nor bad the gospel been preached at this time throughout the then known world. Now it has been published for more than eighteen centuries; and wherever, it is proclaimed, this deed of Mary's is published with it, in continual memory of her, and to her lasting honor.
