Luke 7:39

ὁ φαρισαῖος, for the fourth time; this time he is most appropriately so designated because he is to act in character. εἰ ἦν προφήτης : not the worst thing he could have thought. This woman's presence implies previous relations, of what sort need not be asked: not a prophet, but no thought of impurity; simply ignorant like a common man. ἐγίνωσκεν ἂν, indicative with ἂν, as usual in a supposition contrary to fact. τίς καὶ ποταπὴ, who and what sort of a woman; known to everybody and known for evil. ἄπτεται : touch of a man however slight by such a woman impossible without evil desire arising in her. So judged the Pharisee; any other theory of her action inconceivable to him.
