Luke 7:38 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Luke 7:37      Luke 7:39

Luke 7:38

She stood behind Jesus at his feet and wept. Her tears were like raindrops that wet his feet, and she wiped them with her hair. She kissed his feet repeatedly and then began to anoint them with perfume.
[The verbs in the previous verse give a detailed description of every movement the woman makes. Her participation in the dinner is not so surprising. When a teacher was invited to eat, listeners were welcome to stand along the walls and listen, but the way she approached Jesus was unusual, especially considering her reputation.]
