Luke 7:44-47
Simon Could See What the Woman was doing, but He Could Not See What Her Actions Meant (Even Less His Own)
Simon
- No Water/Towel for Foot-Washing
- No Kiss of Traditional/Formal Greeting
- No Oil of Welcome/Generosity
The Woman
- Wet/Wipe Feet with Her Tears/Hair
- Humble, Submissive, Grateful Kissing of Feet
- Valuable Oil “Wasted” as Perfume for Jesus’ Feet
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
