Thy Sins Are Forgiven

Simon begins to hear the words of rebuke from this one he disregarded as a prophet. This cornerstone set aside by the religious rulers of the Jews. This one who peers into the hearts of all men and knows their thoughts and motivations. When Jesus said, I entered into thine house, the tone of reproach was set, of which Simon was made conscience in this threefold comparison of his behavior to this sinning woman. His failure in these three customary acts demonstrated his lovelessness, arrogance, and covetousness.
