Read Luke 17.36-50. In 7.36-50: The prophet who forgives sins. In verse 36: The setting at Simon the Pharisee's table again raises the question of who is included with the righteous (see ch. 14). In verses 37-39: This woman in the city may have been one of the "people of the land" whom the Pharisees regarded as a sinner (see also v. 39) for not properly observing the law (5.30-32; compare 7.29-30). The true prophet knows who is in God's favor or disfavor. In verses 44-46: Footwashing, ointments and kissing are lavish displays of near eastern hospitality. In verses 48-50. Jesus' declarations display Jewish aversion to speaking directly of God, your sins are forgiven, your faith has saved you, but the scandal remains for the Pharisees. Only God can forgive sins (5.21-22). Comments or Questions..
