To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Matthew and Mark describe it as taking place in thehouse of Simon the Leper, where it is objected to as a waste ofmoney. In Luke's version the leper becomes a rich Pharisee; thewoman becomes a Dame aux Camellias; and nothing is said aboutmoney and the poor. The woman washes the feet of Jesus with hertears and dries them with her hair; and he is reproached forsuffering a sinful woman to touch him. It is almost an adaptationof the unromantic Matthew to the Parisian stage. There is adistinct attem...pt to increase the feminine interest all through. The slight lead given by Mark is taken up and developed. More issaid about Jesus's mother and her feelings. Christ's following ofwomen, just mentioned by Mark to account for their presence athis tomb, is introduced earlier; and some of the women are named;so that we are introduced to Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod'ssteward, and Susanna. There is the quaint little domestic episodebetween Mary and Martha. There is the parable of the ProdigalSon, appealing to the indulgence romance has always shown toCharles Surface and Des Grieux.
