There are two examples of women anointing Jesus with precious ointment described by the Gospel writers. In this passage Luke recounts one of these events. At a dinner given by a Pharisee who was seeking to find fault with Christ, a woman, notorious for her sinful behaviour, washes Jesus’ feet with her tears before pouring expensive perfume on them. Simon, the Pharisee, thinks to himself that Jesus cannot be a prophet or He would have stopped such a woman from having any contact with Him. Jesus, knowing his thoughts, asks Simon to consider what the woman has done in the light of the forgiveness from her sin she has experienced. How grateful are we for what Christ has done for us?
