6路加在七章三十六至五十节没有告诉我们作主人的如何对待主。没有一件事指明那法利赛人对主很有礼貌,满了爱意。实际上,路加没有怎么说到那作主人的,却说了许多那女人向主耶稣所作的。三十七、三十八节说,『看哪,那城里有一个女人,是个罪人,知道耶稣在法利赛人家里坐席,就拿著一玉瓶的香膏,站在耶稣背后,挨著祂的脚哭,用眼泪湿了耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发擦干,还热切的亲祂的脚,并且把香膏抹上。』头发是女人的荣耀,(林前十一15,)是她身上的最高部。她用自己最高部的头发,擦干救主身上最低部的脚,以她的荣耀来爱主。那女人热切的亲主的脚,就是在爱里亲主的脚,并且把香膏抹上。(路七38。)这膏指明那女人珍赏救主的可贵和甜美。对她的爱来说,连救主的脚也是可贵、甜美的。在三十九节我们看见那法利赛人批评那女人,并且藐视她:『请耶稣的法利赛人看见了,就心里说,这人若是申言者,必知道摸祂的是谁,是个怎样的女人,因为她乃是个罪人。『拿因城里有大批的群众亲眼看见救主复活的大能,承认祂是人申言者。(路七16。)然而这法利赛人竟疑惑祂是不是申言者。他不仅怀疑救主,也藐视这女人是个罪人。人救主凭著祂无所不知的神圣属性,知道那请祂的主人心里所说的。因为祂是神,祂知道人心里所想的。四十节说,『耶稣回答他说,西门,我有话要对你说。他说,夫子,请说。』
6In 7:36-50 Luke does not tell us what the host did to the Lord. There is nothing to indicate that the Pharisee was polite and loving toward Him. Actually, Luke does not say very much about the host. However, he has much to say concerning what the woman did to the Lord Jesus. Verses 37 and 38 say, “And behold, there was a woman in the city who was a sinner, and learning that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’sho use, she brought an alabaster flask of ointment; and she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, and she began to wet His feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet affectionately and anointed them with the ointment.” The hair is the glory of the woman (1 Cor. 11:15), the top part of her body. With her top part she wiped the Savior’s feet, the lowest part of His body, loving Him with her glory. The woman kissed the Lord’s feet affectionately, that is, in love, and she anointed them with the ointment (v. 38). This ointment indicates the great worth and sweetness of the Savior to the woman. Even the Savior’s feet were worthy and sweet to her. In verse 39 we see that the Pharisee criticized the woman and despised her: “But when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, because she is a sinner.” A considerable crowd in Nain, having witnessed the Man-Savior’s power of resurrection, recognized Him as a great prophet (7:16). Yet the Pharisee wondered if He were a prophet. He not only doubted concerning the Savior, but also despised the woman as a sinner. By His divine attribute of omniscience, the Man - Savior knew what His host was saying in his heart. Because He is God, He knows what is in man’she art. Verse 40 says, “And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he says, Teacher, say it.”
