A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
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.

[257] [258] [259] The Three Marys at the Tomb by Peter Paul Rubens, with Mary ...
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.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
