SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:36
¶ Y le rog uno de los fariseos, que comiese con l. Y entrado en casa del fariseo, se sent a la mesa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 7:36
Verse 36. One of the Pharisees] Called Simon, ver. 40. This account is considered by many critics and commentators to be the same with that in Matt. xxvi. 6, &c., Mark xiv. 3; and John xii. 3. This subject is considered pretty much at large in the notes on Matt. xxvi. 6, &c., to which the reader is requested to refer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And one of the Pharisees , etc.] Whose name was Simon, ( Luke 7:40,43,44) Desired that he would eat with him ; take a meal with him, either a dinner or a supper: this he did under a disguise of respect, and show of affection to him; though very likely with a design upon him to ensnare him, or take some advantage against him if he could; for it is certain, that he did not treat him with those civilities and ceremonies commonly used to guests; (see Luke 7:44-46). And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat : he made no hesitation about it, but at once accepted of his invitation, though he knew both the man and his intentions; having nothing to fear from him, and being willing to carry it courteously to all men, and give proof of what he had just now said of himself, ( Luke 7:34).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 36-50 - None can truly perceive how precious Christ is, and the glory of the gospel, except the broken-hearted. But while they feel they cannot enough express self-abhorrence on account of sin, and admiration of his mercy, the self-sufficient will be disgusted, because the gospe encourages such repenting sinners. The Pharisee, instead of rejoicin in the tokens of the woman's repentance, confined his thoughts to he former bad character. But without free forgiveness none of us can escape the wrath to come; this our gracious Saviour has purchased with his blood, that he may freely bestow it on every one that believes in him. Christ, by a parable, forced Simon to acknowledge that the greate sinner this woman had been, the greater love she ought to show to Hi when her sins were pardoned. Learn here, that sin is a debt; and all are sinners, are debtors to Almighty God. Some sinners are greate debtors; but whether our debt be more or less, it is more than we ar able to pay. God is ready to forgive; and his Son having purchase pardon for those who believe in him, his gospel promises it to them and his Spirit seals it to repenting sinners, and gives them the comfort. Let us keep far from the proud spirit of the Pharisee, simpl depending upon and rejoicing in Christ alone, and so be prepared to obey him more zealously, and more strongly to recommend him unto all around us. The more we express our sorrow for sin, and our love to Christ, the clearer evidence we have of the forgiveness of our sins What a wonderful change does grace make upon a sinner's heart and life as well as upon his state before God, by the full remission of all his sins through faith in the Lord Jesus __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:36 {That he would eat with him} (hina fagei met' autou). Second aorist active subjunctive. The use of hina after erwtaw (see also #Lu 16:27) is on the border between the pure object clause and the indirect question (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 1046) and the pure final clause. Luke has two other instances of Pharisees who invited Jesus to meals (#11:37; 14:1) and he alone gives them. this is the Gospel of Hospitality (Ragg). Jesus would dine with a Pharisee or with a publican (#Lu 5:29; Mr 2:15; Mt 9:10) and even invited himself to be the guest of Zaccheus (#Lu 9:5). this Pharisee was not as hostile as the leaders in Jerusalem. It is not necessary to think this Pharisee had any sinister motive in his invitation though he was not overly friendly (Plummer).
