Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume, ³⁸ and, standing behind close to His feet, weeping, began to wet His feet with her tears; and with her hair she wiped the tears away again, while she lovingly kissed His feet and poured the perfume over them. ³⁹ Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, "This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him--and would know that she is an immoral woman." ⁴⁰ In answer to his thoughts Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have a word to say to you."
