Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

στραφεὶς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί στραφείς πρός τήν γυναῖκα τῷ Σίμωνι ἔφη Βλέπεις ταύτην τήν γυναῖκα Εἰσῆλθον σοῦ εἰς τήν οἰκίαν ὕδωρ μοί ἐπί πόδας οὐκ ἔδωκας αὕτη δέ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἔβρεξεν μού τούς πόδας καί ταῖς θριξίν αὐτῆς ἐξέμαξεν)

Jesus turned to the woman in order to direct Simon’s attention to her. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus turned to the woman so that Simon would look at her]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

βλέπεις ταύτην τὴν γυναῖκα?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί στραφείς πρός τήν γυναῖκα τῷ Σίμωνι ἔφη Βλέπεις ταύτην τήν γυναῖκα Εἰσῆλθον σοῦ εἰς τήν οἰκίαν ὕδωρ μοί ἐπί πόδας οὐκ ἔδωκας αὕτη δέ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἔβρεξεν μού τούς πόδας καί ταῖς θριξίν αὐτῆς ἐξέμαξεν)

Jesus does not expect Simon to tell him whether he can see the woman. Rather, he is using the question as a teaching tool, to focus Simon’s attention on her as an example of showing love and gratitude. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate Jesus’ words as a statement. Alternate translation: [I want you to consider this woman.]

ὕδωρ μοι ἐπὶ πόδας οὐκ ἔδωκας

It was a basic responsibility of a host to provide water and a towel for guests to wash and dry their feet after walking on dusty roads. Alternate translation: [You did not provide me with anything to wash my feet, as a considerate host would have done]

In this verse and the next two verses, Jesus uses such phrases to contrast Simon’s lack of courtesy with the woman’s extreme actions of gratitude.
