A:In Matthew's Gospel, the magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts for Jesus. These were extremely valuable and no doubt the author intended the presents to show the high regard in which the wise men held Jesus. One of these gifts, myrrh was used as an embalming oil, so it is possible to consider it as foretelling the death of Jesus, although another way of looking at it is that death can not be foretold because it is inevitable, whether by crucifixion or by natural causes.
Jesus was anointed with oil by Mary Magdalene in the Bible before his crucifixion, as described in the Gospel of John, Chapter 12.
