People's Commentary (NT)
Luke 7:44-46
I entered into thine house. How strong the contrast between the
indifference of the Pharisees and the earnestness of the penitent! He
withheld water; she gave precious tears, "the blood of her heart", says
Augustine. He gave no kiss to his cheek; she covered his feet with
kisses. He grudged even a drop of oil; she broke the box of rare
ointment for her Lord. He treated him with despite as an underling; she
adored him as a prince. The water for the feet, the kiss and the oil
for the head were ordinary Oriental courtesies.
