Context of Luke 7:40

38As she stood behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to drench His feet with tears and kept wiping them with her head of hair. Then she was kissing His feet and anointing them with perfume. 39Now when the Pharisee who invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this were a prophet, He would know what sort of woman is touching Him—that she’s a sinner.” And answering, Yeshua said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Say it, Teacher!” 41“A moneylender had two debtors. One owed him five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. 42When neither could repay him, he canceled both debts. So which of them will love him more?”

Commentaries on Luke 7:40

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 36-50Verses 36-50 None can truly perceive how precious Christ is, and the glory of the gospel, except the broken-hearted.

The Pharisee, instead of rejoicing in the tokens of the woman's repentance, confined his thoughts to her former bad character. But without…Read the comment
