路加福音 7:44-46 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 7:36-49

When and where this passage of story happened does not appear; this evangelist does not observe order of time in his narrative so much as the other evangelists do; but it comes in here, upon occasion of Christ's being reproached as a friend to publicans and sinners, to show that it was only for their good, and to bring them to repentance, that he conversed with them; and that those whom he admitted hear him were reformed, or in a hopeful way to be so. Who this woman was that here testified so... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 7:36-50

7:36-50 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. He went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table; and--look you--there was a woman in the town, a bad woman. She knew that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, so she took an alabaster phial of perfume and stood behind him, beside his feet, weeping. She began to wash his feet with tears, and she wiped them with the hairs of her head; and she kept kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume. When the Pharisee, who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:44

And he turned to the woman ,.... That stood behind him at his feet, and said to Simon, seest thou this woman ? and what she has done? pointing to her, and comparing him, and her, and their actions together, whereby he might judge of the preceding parable, and how fitly it might be applied to the present case: I entered into thine house ; not of his own accord, but by the invitation of Simon, and therefore might have expected the usual civilities: thou gavest me no water for my... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:45

Thou gavest me no kiss ,.... A token of civility among friends, when they met together on any occasion. The Jews have a saying F2 Shemot Rabba, sect. 6. fol. 91. 3, 4. , that "all kisses are foolish, excepting three; the kiss of grandeur or dignity, as in 1 Samuel 10:1 and the kiss at parting, as in 1:14 and the kiss at meeting, as in Exodus 4:27 (of which sort this kiss may be thought to be), to which some add the kiss of consanguinity (or that used by relations to one... read more

Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint ,.... No not with common oil, so usually done at feasts, see Psalm 23:5 but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment ; even "with ointment" דבסמא , "of spices", as the Syriac version renders it. There is, throughout the whole account, an opposition between the conduct of Simon, and this woman: he gave him no common water to wash his feet with, she shed floods of tears, and with them bathed his feet, and then wiped them clean with the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:44

Thou gavest me no water - In this respect Simon was sadly deficient in civil respect, whether this proceeded from forgetfulness or contempt. The custom of giving water to wash the guest's feet was very ancient. See instances in Genesis 18:4 ; Genesis 24:32 ; Judges 19:21 ; 1 Samuel 25:41 . In Hindoostan it is the custom, that when a superior enters the house of an inferior, the latter washes his feet, and gives him water to rinse his mouth before he eats. See Ayeen Akbery, vol. iii.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:45

Since the time I came in - Rather, Since the time She came in, αφ ' ἡς εισηλθεν , not εισηλθον , I came in, for it is clear from Luke 7:37 ; that the woman came in after Christ, having heard that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house. The reading which I have adopted is supported by several MSS. and Versions. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:46

My head with oil thou didst not anoint - Anointing the head with oil was as common among the Jews as washing the face with water is among us. See Rth 3:3; 2 Samuel 12:20 ; 2 Samuel 14:2 ; 2 Kings 4:2 ; and Psalm 23:5 , where the author alludes to the Jewish manner of receiving and entertaining a guest. Thou preparest a table for me; anointest my head with oil; givest me an overflowing cup. See Matthew 5:17 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:44

Verse 44 44.And turning to the woman. The Lord appears to compare Simon with the woman, in such a manner as to make him chargeable with nothing more than light offenses. But this is spoken only in the way of concession. “Suppose now, Simon,” he says, “that the guilt from which God discharges thee was light, (244) and that this woman has been guilty of many and very heinous offenses. Yet you see how she proves by the effect that she has obtained pardon. For what mean those profuse tears, those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:36-50

The nameless woman who was a sinner , and Simon the-Pharisee. As regards the incident about to be told, some commentators have believed that the anointing was identical with that related by St. John as having taken place at Bethany very shortly before the Crucifixion. Without detailing the several points of difference in the two recitals, it will be sufficient surely to call attention to the character of the Bethany family, Lazarus and his sisters, the intimate friends of Jesus, to show... read more
