an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

an alabaster flask of ointment, anticipating a much later incident in Mark (Lk 7:36 - 50; cf. Mk 14:3 - 9).
9:2 - 6; Mark 2:5 - 10; Luke 5:20 - 24) and to the woman who brought

During the meal, «a woman of the city, who was a sinner,... brought
an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.»
