The Womens' Bible Commentary - The Sinner
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
The Sinner Accounts of a woman anointing Jesus appear in all four Gospels: Mark 14:3–9; Matthew 26:6–13; John 12:1–8; Luke 7:36–50. Critics are puzzled about exactly how the accounts are related. What seems likely is that one event lies behind them, an event that was changed radi…
