 Ben Witherington: Was Lazarus the Beloved Disciple?
In John 12:3, Mary, the woman who simply “listened” at Jesus’s feet is now also "anointing them and wiping them with her hair" like the unnamed sinner in Nain at the house of a Pharisee.
And the unnamed town where "Mary and her sister Martha" lived is now named as the town where the unnamed woman who anointed Jesus’s “head” lived, i.e., “Bethany.” And Mary used expensive “spikenard ointment” on them, as the lady in Mark (and possibly Luke) did.
So Lazarus, being the firstborn by resurrection of the firstborn by holy spirit of Mary, was the legitimate head of the household once Jesus died.

 † Archindy.org: The Criterion Online Edition - January 27, 2006
In this case, John’s Gospel (but not Matthew’s or Mark’s) names Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha, as the woman who did the anointing.
Through the centuries, these incidents became interwoven and the tradition grew that it was Mary of Magdala who did the washing or the anointing.
That’s when Mary took a very expensive nard oil in an alabaster vial, broke the neck of the vial and poured the perfume over Jesus’ feet (or head, according to Matthew, as a sign of regal, messianic anointing).

Mary Magdalene is beside the Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross (John 19:25).
