Mat_26:13. Τὸ εὐαγγ . τοῦτο ] comp. on Mat_24:14. In this instance, however, the emphasis is not on τοῦτο (as in Mat_24:14), but on τὸ εὐαγγέλιον : this message of redemption, where τοῦτο points to the subject of the message just hinted at, Mat_26:11-12, viz. the death of Jesus; and although the allusion may be but slight, still it is an allusion in living connection with the thoughts of death that filled His soul, and one that naturally springs from the sorrowful emotion of His heart. The thing to which τοῦτο refers is, when put in explicit terms, identical with τὸ εὐαγγ . τῆς χάριτος τ . θεοῦ (Act_20:24), τὸ εὐαγγ . τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμ . (Eph_1:13), τὸ εὐαγγ . τῆς εἰρήνης . (Eph_6:15), ὁ λόγος τοῦ σταυροῦ (1Co_1:18).
ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ ] is not to be connected with λαληθ . (Fritzsche, Kuinoel), but with κηρυχθῇ . Comp. Mar_14:9; ὅπου denotes the locality in its special, ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ in its most comprehensive sense.
εἰς μνημος . αὐτ .] belongs to λαληθ . She has actually been remembered, and her memory is blessed.
