Luke 7:44-47 (ANIV)
44 Then he [Jesus] turned towards the [sinful] woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in the Bible narrative. I have set this scene just after noon.

LIGHTING NOTES:
Sunlight illuminates this scene, coming into the large courtyard room through a hole in the ceiling above the fig tree and through small windows high in the walls. The light casts shadows below the figures and objects in this scene.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Jesus (in blue outer robe), Simon a Pharisee (in dark blue outer robe and head scarf), the sinful woman (at Jesus’ feet), un-named male guests.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene is set in the home of Simon the Pharisee, and is similar to the previous scene (Luke 07 – Jesus anointed by sinful woman – Scene 01 – Woman’s attention) except the viewpoint is closer to the floor.

Here is the scene without the figures or couches.

We are told in verse 36 that the guests “reclined at the table”. This was the custom at the time: people laid down on couches to eat a meal (see notes for Scene 01).
