While the religious leaders plot Jesus’s death and Judas prepares to betray Him, a woman anoints Jesus with costly perfume in an act of extravagant devotion. Her love stands in stark contrast to the surrounding hostility. Jesus calls her act “beautiful” and says it will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. The episode highlights God’s sovereignty and the difference between wholehearted worship and hardened unbelief.
