We hear Jesus saying in Lk 4:18:
> The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
We see a number of chosen persons in OT getting anointed for specific purposes, for instance, Aaron in Exodus and David in 1 Samuel. There was a prescribed procedure for the anointment. Now, the name Christ or Messiah literally means 'anointed'. But we do not see the Gospels mentioning his physical anointment, though his Baptism is narrated. **Was Jesus physically anointed by someone?** Are there any apocryphal writings or scholarly views available on the topic?
