Matthew's and Luke's accounts specify the "fringe" of his cloak, using a Greek word which also appears in Mark 6. [8] According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on fringes in Scripture, the Pharisees (one of the sects of Second Temple Judaism) who were the progenitors of modern Rabbinic Judaism, were in the habit of wearing extra-long fringes or tassels (Matthew 23:5), [9] a reference to ...
There is also no sign of any doubt on the women's part as found at Matthew 28:17, and in the other gospels. [6] The women fall at Jesus' feet. This is a sign of worship and supplication both in contemporary non-Christian literature, [6] and also elsewhere in the New Testament: Jesus' feet are anointed at Luke 7:38, John 11:2, and John 12:3. [3]
To many it seems illogical for Mary to not have actually looked into the tomb before going and telling Peter and the Beloved Disciple that Jesus' body was gone. This theory also helps explain a number of inconsistencies between John 20:2-10 and the later sections. [6] One of these inconsistencies is the architecture of the tomb.
Unsatisfied, Jesus keeps inspecting the crowd until the now-healed woman, trembling in fear, falls at Jesus' feet and admits that it was her. Jesus answers: "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace (and be freed from your suffering)", concluding the Markan and Lukan bleeding woman accounts (Mark 5:25–34, Luke 8:43–48). [5]: 63–67
The event (or events – see discussion below) is reported in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 7, and John 12. [2] Matthew and Mark are very similar: Matthew 26:6–13. While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
Jesus seems to encourage this confusion by addressing her as woman and asking questions to which he already knows the answer. Why he does this is still something of a mystery, though some ideas have been proposed. The suspense of Mary interacting with Jesus while not knowing his true identity does add considerable extra drama to the scene.
A Pharisee named Simon invites Jesus to eat in his house but fails to show him the usual marks of hospitality offered to visitors - a greeting kiss (v. 45), water to wash his feet (v. 44), or oil for his head (v. 46). A "sinful woman" comes into his house during the meal and anoints Jesus' feet with perfume, wiping them dry with her hair. Simon ...
