Luke 7:39-50

Murdock(i) 39 And when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner. 40 And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him: 41 There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty denarii. 42 And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most? 43 Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged correctly. 44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment. 47 I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little. 48 And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee. 49 And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins? 50 And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
