part 4: At Table with Jesus and a Bishop

Working with Luke 7:36-50, our retired United Methodist Bishop Wm. Willimon points out that —

“We aren’t told of the ‘sin’ of this woman who is ‘touching him’ (Greek: haupto, also ‘caress.’ ‘fondle’). Luke just says she’s a ‘woman of the city.’ leaving the rest to your prurient imagination.”

Wait. Before we go any further, maybe we’d better review Luke 7:36-50.

And spend some time in self inventory and prayer.
