Lucas 7

31 Jesus went on to say:

What are you people like? What kind of people are you? 32 You are like children sitting in the market and shouting to each other,

"We played the flute,

but you would not dance!

We sang a funeral song,

but you would not cry!"

33 John the Baptist did not go around eating and drinking, and you said, "John has a demon in him!" 34 But because the Son of Man goes around eating and drinking, you say, "Jesus eats and drinks too much! He is even a friend of tax collectors and sinners." 35 Yet Wisdom is shown to be right by what its followers do.

Simon the Pharisee

36 A Pharisee invited Jesus to have dinner with him. So Jesus went to the Pharisee’s home and got ready to eat.*7.36 got ready to eat: On special occasions the Jewish people often followed the Greek and Roman custom of lying down on their left side and leaning on their left elbow, while eating with their right hand. This is how the woman could come up behind Jesus and wash his feet (see verse 38).

37 *Mt 26.7;Mk 14.3;Jn 12.3.When a sinful woman in that town found out that Jesus was there, she bought an expensive bottle of perfume.
