touch him is the big thing, he can't possibly be a prophet or a messianic figure. he'd never allow a person like this to touch him. >> to those present, it's a shocking provocation. but what's perhaps even more surprising is how jesus responds. >> stop! ♪ >> the disciples are outraged. when jesus rebukes them, he says that, no, forgiveness is accessible to her, too. she brings ointment she uses on his feet and she cries. and then wipes his feet and dries them with her own hair. sort of a symbol of penitence and forgiveness.
