context summary Mark 14

Mark 14:3–9 creates another narrative ''sandwich'' in this Gospel. Between the Sanhedrin's machinations to kill Him and Judas' offer to betray Him, a woman honors Jesus. Much as when His feet were anointed (John 12:1–8), this moment recognizes His Lordship and impending sacrifice. This account is also recorded in Matthew 26:6–13.
