%X Luke designed the narrative of Luke 7:36¨C50 in a way that heightens the tension for his first-century audience. The polarity emphasized in the narrative¡ªa sinful woman at a Pharisee¡¯s dinner table¡ªcorresponds well to the experience of first-century Christians who share meal fellowship with a diverse range of Christ-followers. This expository retelling highlights elements in the structure and rhetoric of Luke¡¯s storytelling in order to help twenty-first-century readers of this passage understand how early hearers would have experienced the story
