📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 7, Jesus is dining at the home of Simon, a Pharisee, in first-century Judea, where religious leaders often hosted teachers like Jesus to discuss matters of faith. During the meal, a woman known for her sinful life approaches and anoints Jesus' feet with perfume, an act that highlights the cultural norms of hospitality and provokes tension due to Simon's likely disapproval. This leads Jesus to initiate a conversation with Simon, setting the stage for a lesson on forgiveness and genuine love.
