Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 7:39

_ _ the Pharisee — who had formed no definite opinion of our Lord, and invited Him apparently to obtain materials for a judgment.

_ _ spake within himself, etc. — “Ha! I have Him now; He plainly knows nothing of the person He allows to touch Him; and so, He can be no prophet.” Not so fast, Simon; thou hast not seen through thy Guest yet, but He hath seen through thee.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Luke 7:39

(7) Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: (e) for she is a sinner.

(7) Rashness is the companion of pride.

(e) The Pharisee respects the law, which holds that those who touch the defiled are defiled.
