Description
Summary:All four Gospels contain an anointing scene of Jesus. Most scholars acknowledge that Luke's anointing scene describes an event different from the event recorded in Matthew, Mark, and John. Matthew's anointing scene appears to be an abridgment of Mark's. Challenges arise in comparisons of Mark's version against John's. In this article, I will argue that John is influenced by the Markan account's use of the literary device intercalation. When this is applied to John's anointing pericope, noncorresponding details are more coherent.
