‏ Matthew 26:12

Verse 12. She did it for my burial.] Or, She hath done it to embalm me-ενταφιασαιμε. The Septuagint use ενταφιαστης for the person whose office it was to embalm, Ge 50:2, and ενταφιαζω for the Hebrew which signifies to prepare with spices, or aromatics, Ge 50:3. Our Lord took this opportunity to tell them, once more, that he was shortly to die.
