Jesus knows every hearts people, so he knows how this woman showed her regretting, Jesus is the 100% Human and 100% God He can make the difference between the repent behaviour or sexual desire, cause if this woman clean Jesus`feet with her hair not show that she was in sexual desire.

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
Jesus can see that the woman cares more for Him than any money she can gain by selling the ointment. She is glorifying Jesus by annointing him, and as He foretold, may have been preparing Him for his death.

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
Jesus is very pleased with the woman who anoints his head because being anointed is an indication of one`s kingship.This woman therefore declares publicly that Jesus is King. Jesus is not just the king, but being anointed also indicates that scripture is being fulfilled and at the same time, foretells of the circumstances in which He shall die-He is aware that there shall not be enough time for the normal Jewish preparations, hence he says that `she did it to prepare for my burial.`

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
The woman`s act was so pleasing to Jesus because she did the recommendable job for Jesus and that she had Jesus in her heart by pouring the expensive oiltment for the preparation of Jesus` burial. The act was also so pleasing to Jesus as a memorial to the whole world. Its like the deciples forgot the importance of Jesus by troubling the woman , however, we as believers should learn that we should seek first Jesus and allow Him into our hearts and all other thing will be added to us. ''Mathew 6 Vs 33''. We should submit our lives to God and resist the devil . James 4 Vs 7

Why was the woman`s act so pleasing to Jesus?
Because the woman`s genuine, personal and devoted act was done for pleasing and honoring our precious Jesus and not with any earthly intent to seek another`s approval. Nothing is ever wasted which is spent for Christ.

A true Christian will only PREPARED the best to his/her King. That women poured an expensive ointment knowing He is God who will be crucified and buried for our salvation. Jesus disciples dont realize this and they are NOT PREPARE; because after that in Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus ask them to pray with Him but what they do is sleeping ''Matthew 26:36-46''.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me. For you always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me. For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

Matthew 26:6-13
