SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:45
No me diste beso, y ésta, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 7:45
Verse 45. Since the time I came in] Rather, Since the time SHE came in, af hv eishlqen, not eishlqon, I came in, for it is clear from ver. 37 that the woman came in after Christ, having heard that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house. The reading which I have adopted is supported by several MSS. and Versions.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 45. Thou gavest me no kiss , etc.] A token of civility among friends, when they met together on any occasion. The Jews have a saying f314 , 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.
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 __________________________________________________________________
