Luc 7:45

Listen to Luc 7:45
45 Tu ne m'as point donné de baiser; mais elle, depuis que je suis entré, n'a cessé de me baiser les pieds.

Luc 7:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:45

Thou gavest me no kiss
A token of civility among friends, when they met together on any occasion. The Jews have a saying F2, that

``all kisses are foolish, excepting three; the kiss of grandeur or dignity, as in ( 1 Samuel 10:1 ) and the kiss at parting, as in ( Ruth 1:14 ) and the kiss at meeting, as in ( Exodus 4:27 ) (of which sort this kiss may be thought to be), to which some add the kiss of consanguinity (or that used by relations to one another), as in ( Genesis 29:11 ) ''

but this woman, since the time I came in.
The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "since she came in"; and so two of Stephens's copies; which seems to be the more agreeable reading, seeing Christ was in Simon's house before this woman came; for she knowing that he was there, came thither after him:

hath not ceased to kiss my feet;
which shows, that this action was repeated by her times without number, even ever since she came into the house.

Luc 7:45 In-Context

43 Simon répondit: J'estime que c'est celui à qui il a le plus remis. Jésus lui dit: Tu as fort bien jugé.
44 Alors, se tournant vers la femme, il dit à Simon: Vois-tu cette femme? Je suis entré dans ta maison, et tu ne m'as point donné d'eau pour me laver les pieds; mais elle a arrosé mes pieds de larmes, et les a essuyés avec ses cheveux.
45 Tu ne m'as point donné de baiser; mais elle, depuis que je suis entré, n'a cessé de me baiser les pieds.
46 Tu n'as pas oint ma tĂȘte d'huile; mais elle a oint mes pieds d'une huile odorifĂ©rante.
47 C'est pourquoi je te le dis, ses péchés, qui sont en grand nombre, lui ont été pardonnés; car elle a beaucoup aimé; mais celui à qui on pardonne peu, aime peu.
