Lamsa(i)
37 Now there was in that city a woman who was a sinner; and when she knew that he was a guest in the PhariseeÆs house, she took an alabaster cruse of perfume,
38 And she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head, and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with perfume.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he reasoned in himself and said, If this man were a prophet, he would have known who she was and her reputation; for the woman who has touched him is a sinner.
40 Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to tell you. He said to him, Say it, teacher. Jesus said to him,
41 There were two men who were debtors to a creditor; one of them owed him five hundred pence, and the other one fifty pence.
42 And because they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which one of them will love him more?
43 Simon answered and said, I think the one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said to him, You have judged truly.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you did not give me even water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 You did not kiss me; but she, since she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 For this reason, I say to you, Her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
48 And he said to the woman, Your sins are forgiven.
49 Then the guests began to say within themselves, Who is this man, who forgives even sins?
50 Jesus said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
