This Pharisee saw what was happening and must
have been disgusted by the tears and her touch
on Jesus' feet. He would have sent her away but
was shocked by Jesus' permission of her worship.

The Pharisee thought Jesus was a prophet and
it was the reason he invited him to dinner. What
a mistake, if Jesus was a prophet He would have
known this woman and made her leave.

So he stood by helpless as he watched the woman
shower caresses on Jesus' feet. Jesus knew what
he was thinking and answered him, "Simon, I have
somewhat to say unto thee." And he saith, "Master,
say on."
Luke 7:36-40
