• PER228 The judgment of religious leaders and the rebukes of Jesus the Messiah

    During a meal at a Pharisee's house in Jerusalem (late 32), Jesus utters severe rebukes against the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. Luke 11.38-54, the only gospel to recount this episode, describes a hostile atmosphere in which the religious authorities look for evidence to condemn Jesus. His cutting words are in reality a call to repentance, ignored by men blinded by pride.

    Luke 7.45 (King James Version) :
    Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
    King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
