Jesus was visiting in a Pharisee house' when a "woman of the evening" entered with an alabaster jar, she knelt at Jesus' feet and started bathing his feet with her tears, and annointing them with the oil in the alabaster jar.
After much discussion with the Pharisee and his followers, Jesus turned and said "when I entered this house you did not offer me water for my feet, but this woman has bathed them with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. You didn't greet me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since I entered. You did not annoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little"
She was a follower of Jesus, who had been cured by Jesus of 7 demons.
Sister of Martha and Lazarus, sat at the feet of Jesus, while Jesus spoke.
Referred in Mark 15, as standing at the foot the cross when Jesus died, with his mother Mary.
Went to the tomb with Mary the mother of Jesus, and James the loved disciple of Jesus, and Salome.
Told the disciples of Jesus Resurrection, but they did not believe her.
