Luke 7:44

Luke 7:44. I entered into thine house, -

"Therefore thou wast bound by the obligations of a host," -

Luke 7:44. Thou gavest me no water for my feet: -

An ordinary commonplace courtesy in the East, almost a necessity for those who have walked far, and whose feet are weary and dusty: "Thou gavest me no water for my feet:" -

Luke 7:44. But she hath washed my feet with tears, -

Costly water this! "She hath washed my feet with tears."

Luke 7:44. And wiped them with the hairs of her head.

"She has done it, she has done it better than thou wouldst have done it, she has done it best of all, she has done what thou oughtest to have done, she has done it when there seemed to be no claim upon her to do it."
