The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:40

Christ and Simon: the correcting word. There were some good points about Simon. 1 . He was an eminently respectable man; he was so in the true sense of the word, for as a virtuous man he could respect himself, and his neighbours could rightly respect him; he conformed his conduct to a high standard of morality. 2 . He was an open-handed, hospitable man. 3 . He was an open-minded man. It was not every Pharisee that would have invited Jesus Christ to supper, or would have given... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:41-42

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. The illustration was from the everyday life of the people. This lending and borrowing was ever a prominent feature in the common life of the Jews. Pointed warnings against greed and covetousness, and the habit of usury, and the love of perpetual trafficking, we find in all the Old Testament books, notably in Deuteronomy,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:43

Thou hast rightly judged . "Come, now, I will show thee what I meant by my little story, in thine answer. Thou hast judged thyself. Thou art the man with the little debt of sin, as thou thinkest, and the little love given in return for the cancelled debt; for see how thou hast treated me thy Guest, and how she has made up for thy lack of friendship and courtesy." The following contrasts are adduced by the Master: "Thou didst not provide me with that which is so usual to offer guests—I... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:45

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. "Thou gavest me no kiss of respect on entering, to which as a Rabbi I was surely entitled; she hath repeatedly kissed my feet." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:46

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment . "It never entered thy thoughts to pay me the homage—and yet I had helped thee, too, a little—of pouring oil on my head"; "but she hath anointed, not my head, she shrank, poor soul! from doing this; but my feet. And, too, it was no common oil which she used, but precious, fragrant ointment. A cold, loveless welcome, indeed, my Pharisee friend, was thine! Thou thinkest it honour enough the mere... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven . Again, as in the synagogue, and no doubt on many other occasions, when these words were uttered, a thrill would run through the company present. Who was this, then, one would ask the other, who with this voice and mien dared to utter such things? Only One could forgive sins! Was, then, the Nazareth Rabbi, the great Physician, the Worker of awful miracles—was he the One whose Name was lost, but the echo of whose voice still... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:48

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven . Then, turning again to the woman, in her deep penitence, and at the same time in her deep joy—joy springing from her newly found peace—he formally renews to her the assurance of that pardon which she already was conscious of; but in renewing it the Lord mentioned no more "her many sins," as in the first place ( Luke 7:47 ), but simply, "thy sins," thus reducing, as Stier remarks, at last both her and Simon to a common level. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:50

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. Then, with just one solemn word reminding the people assembled in that guest-chamber of faith, that firm trust in the goodness and mercy of God upon which her forgiveness rested, he dismissed the woman, rousing her at once from her dreamy ecstasy, sending her from his presence back again into the ordinary life of the busy world, but bearing along with her now his mighty priceless gift of a peace which passeth understanding. read more

See this passage explained in Matthew 11:2-19.Luke 7:29The people - The common people.That heard him - That heard “John.”The publicans - The tax-gatherers, the worst kind of people, who had, however, been converted.Justified God - Considered God as “just” or “right” in the counsel which he gave by John - to wit, in calling people to repentance, and in denouncing future wrath on the impenitent.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 7:36

One of the Pharisees - His name was Simon, Luke 7:10. Nothing more is known of him. It is not improbable, however, from what follows Luke 7:40-47, that he had been healed by the Saviour of some afflictive disease, and made this feast to show his gratitude.Sat down to meat - The original word here means only that he placed himself or reclined at the table. The notion of “sitting” at meals is taken from modern customs, and was not practiced by the Jews. See the notes at Matthew 23:6.Meat -... read more
