“And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.”
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon: do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair — the you see this woman is the application of the parable to the reality. The four contrasts: Simon gave no water for feet / she wet them with tears; Simon gave no kiss / she has not stopped kissing; Simon gave no anointing / she anointed; hospitality omitted / hospitality lavished.
