Jesus Speaking to the Pharisees Who Rejected both John the Baptist & Jesus
Luke 7:31-35 NASB1995
I Believe we are to understand – it was these words that prompted the invitation
Jesus’ Feet Anointed by a Woman in Galilee – See this in your heart
Luke 7:36-39 NASB1995
She was “devoted to sin… pre-eminently sinful, especially wicked”
Barnes Notes on the NT
She heard that forgiveness could be had
You know that alabaster represented what she had gained through a life of sin. ~~ It may not have been the expensive stuff that Mary would bring later, but it was, perhaps, the best she owned
We all come to the Savior on the same terms and that is what Jesus explains
Jesus Explains What the Pharisee is Seeing
Luke 7:40-50 NASB1995
Jesus’ Feet Anointed Again by a Woman in Bethany (Judea)
John 12:1-8 NASB1995
Jesus Explains What They Saw
Matthew 26:10-13 NASB1995
She has done a good deed to me – something beautiful is the meaning
The Scenes Are Very Similar but What Did We See?
The first woman was devoted to sin
Mary was devoted to Jesus (and always being criticized for it)
The first woman poured out the riches she had gained from a life of sin
Mary poured out the riches of a life devoted to Christ
The first woman came to get forgiveness
Mary came because she already had forgiveness
Both were received by Jesus
Both stand as memorials for all to this day.
The Message is “Come”
Revelation 22:17 NASB1995
