what was the reason, the jews anoited the body after death, and we know our lord was anoited by mary as a preparation for his death.

I’m not entirely sure about this, but I would imagine a lot of it had to do with presserving the body. We get the idea of the “bodily” ressurrection of the dead from the Jews. Therefore, the Jews wanted to presserve the body as much as possible. (At least that’s my opinion.)
