John Gill, on John 11:2

“(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)”

“It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,.... Not the woman in Luk 7:37, as some have thought, whose name is not mentioned, and which history is not related by John at all: but Mary in Joh 12:3, who is both mentioned by name, and along with Lazarus her brother, and with whom all the circumstances of the affair suit; and though the fact was not yet done, yet John writing many years after it was done, and when it was well known, proleptically, and in a parenthesis, takes notice of it here: and wiped his feet with her hair; instead of a napkin, after she had anointed them with oil; See Gill on Luk 7:37, See Gill on Joh 12:3. Whose brother Lazarus was sick; this is observed, to show how well they were all acquainted with Christ, and affected to him.”
