In the final anointing of Christ, the ointment is poured over His head. This was five days after Mary had anointed the feet of Christ with the return to Bethany on Saturday, ref. John 12.
Thus, two days before the Passover, in the home of Simon the Leper, the following occurs:
The Precious Ointment
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. 8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, “Why this waste? 9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. 11 For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.” Matthew 26
It is this final anointing, wherein the contents of the alabaster flask is poured over the head of Christ-Jesus that motivates Judas Iscariot to go to the Sanhedrin for the money to betray Him. But, he would give it back to them because he did not condone the murder of Christ.
Two days before the Passover would make it a Wednesday event. You had mentioned that this anointing had first occurred some one and a half years before, apparently in the home of Simon the Pharisee, ref. Luke 7. So, are we finding out the fate of Simon, as well?
Hi Hazel,
In the final anointing of Christ, the ointment is poured over His head. This was five days after Mary had anointed the feet of Christ with the return to Bethany on Saturday, ref. John 12.

Yes, that's right Matthew 26:6-16
Also, almost word for word, Mark 14: 3-9
Two days before the Passover would make it a Wednesday event. You had mentioned that this anointing had first occurred some one and a half years before, apparently in the home of Simon the Pharisee, ref. Luke 7. So, are we finding out the fate of Simon, as well?
