 | "From Simon's "inside" view, the woman is judged a sinner. Is he
wrong? No. But his viewpoint is limited; it can only see the sin of those who are on the
outside. This is also true of judgments today by insiders on outsiders who have "made
a mess of their lives"--the addicted, criminals, prostitutes. As a result, the
religious elite turn their homes (synagogues, churches) into an "insiders-only"
club." |

issue within the development of early Christianity and the gospels
tradition, miracles present one of the problematic areas." |

Centurian and the Synagogue," Shmuel Safrai, Jerusalem Perspective

| "...it is quite conceivable that at the time of Jesus a Roman army officer
might have had such warm feelings for the Jewish people and their religion as to construct
a synagogue for the people of Capernaum." |

"Miracles, In Other Words: Social Science Perspectives on Healings,"
Jerome H. Neyrey, University of Notre Dame, 1995.
| "...we should attend to the institution
in which the healing takes place, either kinship or politics. What roles
does the family have in an illness? How are they socially and economically
affected? What role do they play in the seeking of a cure? What costs do
they pay or debts to they incur? What if the healing occurs in the
political realm, even if this is a healing shrine such as the temple of
Asclepius at Epidaurus? Healings, moreover, might have important political
implications, for "prophets" arose, echoing themes of liberation and
freedom. The political significance of the account of the healing by the
Jewish Eleazar before the emperor Vespasian and his retinue should not be
discounted (Josephus. Ant. 8.45-48)." |
