The event (or events – see discussion below) is reported in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 7, and John 12. [2] Matthew and Mark are very similar: Matthew 26:6–13. While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
This would help explain how Mary of Bethany could afford to possess quantities of expensive perfume. [22] A similar anointing is described in the Gospel of Luke [23] as occurring at the home of one Simon the Pharisee in which a woman who had been sinful all her life, and who was crying, anointed Jesus' feet and, when her tears started to fall ...
A Pharisee named Simon invites Jesus to eat in his house but fails to show him the usual marks of hospitality offered to visitors - a greeting kiss (v. 45), water to wash his feet (v. 44), or oil for his head (v. 46).

The Eastern Orthodox Church has never identified Mary Magdalene with Mary of Bethany or the "sinful woman" who anoints Jesus in Luke 7:36–50 [251] and has always taught that Mary was a virtuous woman her entire life, even before her conversion. [251] They have never celebrated her as a penitent. [251]
Mark states in Mark 1:1 that his book is "the good news of Jesus the anointed one", [13] the word Christ meaning "anointed". The woman understands Jesus' importance more than do the other people there. It is also a signal to the reader that as Jesus is being anointed for burial the plot against him will succeed. (Brown 145)
