In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. Jesus' interpretation of the woman's act: preparation for burial. The anointing that looked like extravagant honor is revealed as prophetic preparation for the death that is two days away. The woman who did not know she was preparing Jesus for burial is the prophetic actor par excellence — the Spirit-inspired act that is more than the actor understood.
