Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:36

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.This Pharisee was Simon (Luke 7:43); and he may not be identified as Simon the Leper (Matthew 26:6; Mark 14:3; John 12:1f). The circumstances here do not fit the anointing in Bethany at all. Luke's record of another anointing perfectly fits into the pattern he followed throughout the Gospel. See under Luke 7:10.This Simon was doing what might be called "slumming." He... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:37

And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment and standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.It is hyper-ridiculous to equate this with the anointing by the devout Mary, as recorded in the other Gospels. This person was a "sinner," and her... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:39

Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.Spake within himself ... Only in the word of God may it be read what men said within themselves, and Luke has several such instances: the prodigal son (Luke 15:17), the unjust steward (Luke 16:3), etc. This Pharisee was correct in one of the premises of his conceited syllogism, namely,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:40

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.This was a dramatic moment. The proud, unloving Pharisee had already made up his mind. He had decided that Jesus was an impostor, and one cannot fail to sense the condescension in his icy "Teacher, say on?' But he was in for the shock of his life. The Master began by relating what Simon probably thought was an innocuous little parable; the point he would get later on. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:41

A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty. When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them will love him most?<LINES><MONO>The lender = Jesus Christ our Lord The one who owed five hundred shillings = the sinful woman The one who owed fifty shillings = the Pharisee Their both being unable to pay = the fact that no mortal can atone for even the most insignificant of his sins. His freely forgiving both = the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:43

Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.Simon, so he thought, was merely going along with the little game; his "I suppose" is in the same vein of condescension as the "say on" of Luke 7:40. There was not even anything in Jesus' address to Simon that revealed the blockbuster that Jesus was about to detonate in his face. Simon, no doubt, was still smiling a sophisticated sneer when Jesus said, "Thou hast rightly judged."... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:44

And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.Simon had slighted and insulted Jesus by withholding the basin of water and the towel normally extended to a visitor, usually at the hands of a servant; and one may only wonder how Simon had made such a slip. Did he suppose that the humble Prophet of the poor would not recognize the omission... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:45

Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.It was thus a triple insult that Simon had directed against the Lord of life; not merely the basin and the towel, but the customary greeting of a guest with a kiss, and the anointing of the head with oil had also been withheld. But the woman supplied, out of love, all three! read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.Simon who thought he was judging the Lord suddenly found himself the judged, Jesus claiming in his presence the divine prerogative of judging all men, and announcing in the full majesty of his glorious person forgiveness of the woman whom Simon despised, and conspicuously omitting any reference at all to the... read more

And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?While the dinner guests were thus concentrating upon their inner thoughts, Jesus reiterated what he had already said. read more
