Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis ton entaphiasmon {εἰς τὸν ἐνταφιασμόν | eis tón en-ta-phia-smón} marks the ultimate goal, “for the burial,” giving the anointing a prophetic, funerary orientation. The tight succession of aorist verbs and the purpose infinitive compress the narrative into a dense evaluative statement by Jesus, which is represented in English by coordinated clauses and a purpose phrase (“to anoint My body for the burial”) to preserve both the completed aspect and the forward-looking reference to His burial.
