“There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.”
A woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. The unnamed woman's act: breaking open an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment and pouring it on Jesus' head while he reclined at the table. The pouring on the head is the prophetic act of anointing — the same act performed on the kings of Israel at their anointing. The Christ (the anointed one) is anointed by an unnamed woman.
