“And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.”
When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table — the dinner at the Pharisee's house is the setting for the anointing by the sinful woman. Jesus accepts the invitation — he eats with Pharisees as well as tax collectors. The reclining at table is the Roman dining posture — reclining on a couch with feet extending away from the low table.
