Gregory the Great — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 7:36-50

Patristic A.D. 604
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
“(ubi sup.) But it is said to the Pharisee, My head with oil thou didst not anoint, for the very power even of Divinity on which the Jewish people professed to believe, he neglects to celebrate with due praise. But she hath anointed my feet with ointment. For while the Gentile people believed the mystery of His incarnation, it proclaimed also His lowest powers with the highest praise.”
