Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:37
Luke 7:37. Which was a sinner—box of ointment,— Who had been a sinner—box of perfume. It is generally supposed, that the woman who anointed our Lord in Simon's house, was she who in the Gospel is called Mary Magdalene, for no other reason than because St. Luke, in the beginning of the following chapter, mentions her as one of our Lord's attendants, and one out of whom he had cast seven devils. Some indeed attempt to prove it out of the Talmud, which mentions a lewd woman called Mary Megadella,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:38
Luke 7:38. Began to wash his feet with tears,— To water his feet with a shower of tears. Doddridge; who observes that this is the proper signification of the word βρεχειν . See Matthew 5:45. We are not to imagine that this woman came on purpose thus to wash and wipe the feet of Christ; but probably, hearing that the Pharisee who invited Jesus to dinner had neglected the civility usually paid in the eastern countries to such guests as they designed particularly to honour,—that of anointing the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:39-40
Luke 7:39-40. Now when the Pharisee—saw it, &c.— Simon, perceiving what was done, immediately concluded that Jesus could not be a prophet; since in that case, instead of allowing her even to touch him, he would certainly have expelled her from his presence forthwith, as the tradition of the elders directed; for it was a maxim among the Pharisees, that the very touch of the wicked caused pollution. But though Simon did not declare his sentiments, they were not hidden from Christ; who, to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:41
Luke 7:41. Five hundred pence,— Δηναρια, a Roman coin, in value about seven pence halfpenny of our money; so that five hundred were nearly equivalent to fifteen of our guineas, and fifty to one guinea and a half. There is no reason to believe that any mystery was intended by Christ in fixing on these sums rather than any others, which had as great a difference between them. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:42
Luke 7:42. Which of them will love him most?— Neither of them will love him at all before he has forgiven them. An insolventdebtor, till he is forgiven, does not love but fly his creditor. See the note on Luke 7:47. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:44
Luke 7:44. Seest thou this woman?—— The kindness which this woman shewed to Jesus, was very extraordinary; therefore, as he had all the softer and finer passions of human nature in their utmost purity and perfection, he was greatly moved with the consciousness that she had of her guilt, the sincerity of her repentance, and the profoundness of her humility; and with gracious condescension expressed the sense he had of it: for, in the hearing of all the guests he recounted particularly, and with... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:45
Luke 7:45. Thou gavest me no kiss, &c.— Since it was customary for the master of the house to receive his guests with such a salutation, to provide them with water to wash their feet, &c. it is possible that Simon might have omitted some of these civilities, lest his brethren who sat at table with him should think he paid Jesus too much respect; and if there was any such slight intended, it might be an additional reason for our Lord's taking such particular notice of the neglect. The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:46
Luke 7:46. Mine head with oil, &c.— The reader will observe the beautiful and elegant contrast in this verse, between common oil and precious ointment, as well as between anointing the head and anointing the feet; and indeed the same kind of contrast is observed in the two preceding verses. How common this circumstance of anointing, &c. was, will appear on referring to Deuteronomy 28:40. Micah 6:15.Psalms 23:5; Psalms 23:5; Psalms 104:15; Psalms 141:5. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:50
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.Far more than forgiveness, salvation itself was thus extended to Simon's impromptu guest. What about her obedience? It was assured. "If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments," Jesus said; and here was one who truly loved him. She was not saved by "faith only." read more
