From BibleWiki
37: και ιδου γυνη εν τη πολει ητις ην αμαρτωλος επιγνουσα οτι ανακειται εν τη οικια του φαρισαιου κομισασα αλαβαστρον μυρου
37: And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment,
37: And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew
that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of
ointment.
In the city. What city is meant is unknown. Some have supposed it
was Nain; some Capernaum; some Magdala; and some Jerusalem.
Which was a sinner. Who was depraved or wicked. This woman, it seems, was known to be a sinner -- perhaps an abandoned woman or a prostitute. It is certain that she had much to be forgiven, and she had probably passed her life in crime. There is no evidence that this was the woman commonly called Mary Magdalene.
An alabaster-box, &c. See "Mk 14:3".
