It was a sign of respect and hospitality. The absence of this gesture from Simon the Pharisee, who was hosting Jesus, indicates a lack of honor and recognition of Jesus' status. This omission contrasts with the woman's actions, highlighting her deep reverence and love for Jesus. The greeting kiss is also seen in other biblical passages, such as when Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss (<a href="/matthew/26-49.htm">Matthew 26:49</a>), underscoring the significance of this gesture in relationships and social interactions.<p><b>but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived</b><br>The woman's continuous kissing of Jesus' feet is an extraordinary act of humility and devotion. In biblical times, feet were considered the dirtiest part of the body due to the dusty roads and open sandals. Her actions demonstrate a profound acknowledgment of Jesus' authority and her own repentance and gratitude. This act of worship parallels other instances in the Gospels where individuals show deep reverence for Jesus, such as Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus' feet with perfume (<a href="/john/12-3.htm">John 12:3</a>). The woman's actions fulfill the prophetic imagery of <a href="/isaiah/52-7.htm">Isaiah 52:7</a>, which speaks of the beauty of feet that bring good news, symbolizing her recognition of Jesus as the bearer of salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Jesus is at a Pharisee's house for a meal.
