People's Commentary (NT)
Luke 7:36
One of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him.
This anointing is a different one from that recorded in Matthew 26:7
and elsewhere. The breach between Jesus and the Pharisees was not yet
so great as to prevent intercourse. Jesus accepted invitations of
Pharisee and publican alike, with the like purpose of instruction in
righteousness. "We must imagine the guests arriving; Simon receiving
them with all courtesy, and embracing each in turn; slaves ready to
wash the dust of the road from their sandaled feet, and to pour sweet
olive oil over their heads to soften the parched skin. See
Genesis 18:4 19:2 24:32 Ru 3:3 1Sa 25:41 Ps 23:5 141:5 Ec 9:8 Da 10:3
Amos 6:6 Mt 6:17. But there is one of the guests thus not treated.
He is but a poor man, invited as an act of condescending patronage. No
kiss is offered him; no slave waits upon him; of course a mechanic
cannot need the luxuries others are accustomed to".
