Commentary on John 11:2

This verse identifies Mary as the one who anointed Jesus, an event not yet recorded in John's narrative but described in chapter 12. The Gospel writer assumes readers' familiarity with this story, suggesting the Gospel's later composition. The mention establishes the family's devotion to Christ and foreshadows Mary's act of worship. John's retrospective reference demonstrates divine sovereignty in narrative arrangement.
