Footnotes

152 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
153 It is discussed whether these acts in vv. 44–46 were required by the host. Most think they were not, but this makes the woman’s acts of respect all the more amazing.
154 Grk “no kiss.” This refers to a formalized kiss of greeting, standard in that culture. To convey this to the modern reader, the words “of greeting” have been supplied to qualify what kind of kiss is meant.
155 This event is not equivalent to the anointing of Jesus that takes place in the last week of his life (Matt 26:6–13; Mark 14:3–9; John 12:1–8). That woman was not a sinner, and Jesus was eating in the home of Simon the leper, who, as a leper, could never be a Pharisee.
