Neville Goddard on Mark 14:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 14 in context

Scripture Focus

6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Mark 14:6-9

Biblical Context

Jesus defends the woman’s act, calling it a good work, and notes that the poor are always present, but his own time is limited. The scene speaks not to a past event but to an inner process of devotion and remembrance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, this scene is an inner drama. The anointing is your act of consecration to the I AM within—an inner worship that precedes external form. The defense, 'Let her alone,' is your inner voice affirming that devotion matters more than reputation or poverty of circumstance. The line 'the poor with you always' points to a world of appearances; yet the true supply is the eternal, ready within your own awareness. Her deed—'what she could'—reminds you that any sincere alignment of attention with the I AM is sufficient to move the situation inside you. The burial imagery is symbolic: you permit old identities and fears to be laid to rest by a present assumption, so that the gospel of your true nature can advance. Wherever you teach this truth, this act becomes memorial, repeating inside your consciousness as an ever-new confirmation of your innate divinity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the feeling of the I AM honoring this moment, and imagine you are anointing your own future. Say softly, 'I have done what I could,' and feel this remembrance becoming a living gospel within you.
