Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 7:40-43

Luke 7:40-43. Jesus answering What Simon spake within himself; said, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee Though he was kindly entertained at his table, yet even there he judged it proper to reprove him for what he saw amiss in him, and not to suffer sin upon him. This he does, however, in a most tender and courteous manner. And he saith, Master, διδασκαλε , teacher, say on Though Simon would not believe him to be a prophet, because he suffered so great a sinner to touch him, yet he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 7:36-50

51. In the house of Simon the Pharisee (Luke 7:36-50)Like most Pharisees, Simon no doubt kept the laws of holiness and thought that God was more pleased with him than with socially despised people such as tax collectors and prostitutes. He was therefore surprised that Jesus allowed a prostitute to wash his feet. In Simon’s view this showed that Jesus did not have divine knowledge, otherwise he would know the sort of person the woman was and would not allow her to touch him (Luke 7:36-39).Jesus... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 7:36-50

4. The anointing by a sinful woman 7:36-50This incident, appearing only in Luke’s Gospel, illustrates the truth just expressed in Luke 7:35. Here is a case in point of what Jesus had just described happening (Luke 7:34). Jesus reached out to a sinner only to receive criticism from a fastidious Pharisee. The love that the woman lavished on Jesus contrasts with Simon the Pharisee’s lack of love for Him. The motif of Jesus’ identity is also significant in this story since Jesus had forgiven the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 7:41-42

Jesus proceeded to tell His host a parable about two debtors. A denarius was worth one day’s wage for an agricultural laborer. Regardless of the buying power of the money in view obviously both men owed considerable debts, but one was 10 times greater than the other. Jesus regarded love as the expression of gratitude. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:41-42

(41, 42) There was a certain creditor . . .—The parable has some points of resemblance to that of the Two Debtors in Matthew 18:23. Here, however, the debts, though different, are not separated by so wide an interval as are the ten thousand talents and the hundred pence. The debts are both within the range of common human experience. The “pence “are, of course, the Roman denarii, worth about sevenpence-halfpenny each. The application of the parable treats the woman as a greater debtor than the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 7:1-50

Three Estimates of One Character Luke 7:4 ; Luke 7:6 ; Luke 7:9 I. In the first place, we have the estimate formed of this man by his neighbours, 'Saying that he was worthy'. Now in regard to this testimonial, two or three remarks may be made. (1) For one thing, it must, I think, he conceded that these elders had enjoyed the best opportunities for forming a judgment regarding him. He lived in the midst of them. (2) But these elders had another advantage in coming to a knowledge of this... read more
