Luke 7:
36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisees house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisees house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.
Here is the reference on Mary Magdalene which is accurate:
Luke 8:
Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmitiesMary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herods steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.
Those are the facts. Don't worry I too was corrected as well as I was raised Catholic and that lie is still there in some circles. Don't know why Mary Magdalene got a bad rap from some pope.
I’ll have to study on that.....thanks for the info.
I’ll continue to research this, but the words “what manner of woman this is who touches him” certainly indicates sexual promiscuousness....pro or not. But it is not specific.
