The Anointing of Jesus - Biblical Illustration of Worship and Sacrifice #246150 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized biblical illustration depicts the anointing of Jesus by a woman (often identified as Mary of Bethany) with expensive perfume, an act of profound devotion that prompted criticism from Judas Iscariot. The composition uses strong diagonal lines and contrasting warm tones to emphasize spiritual tension and reverence, with Jesus reclining in acceptance while the anointer leans forward in humility. The scene captures both the intimacy of worship and the looming shadow of betrayal.

Used in Christian educational materials, sermon slides, Bible study guides, or devotional websites to illustrate John 12:1-8 or Mark 14:3-9; targets users seeking visual aids for theological reflection or teaching about sacrificial love and prophetic symbolism.
