    Very good. A few things to clarify. So Jesus was anointed, but differently. He is the only one anointed in this way. Is that enough to make the title for Him: "The Anointed One" or "The Messiah"? Maybe I should see what ancient Christians said about this. Commented Jun 17, 2013 at 23:36

  • Note that Yeshua was literally anointed in the home of Simon the Pharisee, by the repentant woman who anointed him with a mixture of perfume and her tears. Commented Dec 22, 2023 at 4:27
