You did not greet Me with a kiss
In the cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East, a kiss was a common form of greeting, especially among those who wished to show respect or affection. The Greek word for "kiss" here is "philema," which signifies a gesture of friendship and honor. In this passage, Jesus is addressing Simon the Pharisee, highlighting the lack of customary hospitality. This omission is significant, as it underscores Simon's failure to recognize Jesus' true identity and worth. The act of greeting with a kiss was not merely a social nicety but a profound acknowledgment of the other's dignity and status. In the broader scriptural context, this lack of greeting contrasts with the woman's actions, emphasizing her deep reverence and love for Jesus.

but she has not stopped kissing My feet
The phrase "has not stopped" is translated from the Greek "ou dielipen," indicating continuous action. This woman's persistent act of kissing Jesus' feet is a powerful demonstration of humility and devotion. In biblical times, feet were considered the dirtiest part of the body, and touching them was an act of servitude and submission. The Greek word for "kissing" here is "kataphilein," which implies an intense, repeated action. Her actions are a stark contrast to Simon's neglect, illustrating her recognition of Jesus' divine authority and her gratitude for His forgiveness. This act of worship is reminiscent of other biblical instances where individuals express profound reverence and repentance, such as Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus' feet (John 12:3).

since I arrived
The phrase "since I arrived" underscores the immediacy and constancy of the woman's devotion. From the moment Jesus entered Simon's house, she began her act of worship and did not cease. This continuous action highlights her unwavering faith and recognition of Jesus' presence. The Greek word "eiselthon" for "arrived" suggests a formal entrance, indicating that Jesus' presence was significant and deserving of honor. In the broader narrative of Luke 7, this moment serves as a pivotal teaching on the nature of true worship and repentance. The woman's actions are a testament to the transformative power of encountering Christ, prompting believers to reflect on their own expressions of faith and devotion.

(45) Thou gavest me no kiss.--This also, as we see in the case of Judas (see Note on Matthew 26:49), was a customary mark of respect to one who claimed the character of a Rabbi. So the disciples of Ephesus kissed St. Paul on parting (Acts 20:37). So the "holy kiss," the "kiss of peace," became part of the ritual of most of the ancient Liturgies (Romans 16:16; 1Corinthians 16:20).

Verse 45. - Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. "Thou gavest me no kiss of respect on entering, to which as a Rabbi I was surely entitled; she hath repeatedly kissed my feet."
