Luke 7:37

Luke 7:37. "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." This woman seems to have been before a common whore, and that precious ointment was what she kept to anoint herself with, to render herself agreeable to her gallants, and particularly used to anoint her hair with, which was accounted the special ornament of women, and that she now makes use of as a towel to wipe Christ's feet; and having, now [that] she is brought to repentance, no further use for the costly box in that way, nor the precious ointment that is in it, she breaks the box and pours the ointment on Christ.
