³⁶ And a certain man of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And having entered into the Pharisee's house, he sat down. ³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city who was sinful. And when she knew that he sat in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster cruse of ointment, ³⁸ and having stood behind near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. And she kissed his feet much, and anointed them with the ointment. ³⁹ But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful. ⁴⁰ And having responded, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, speak Teacher. ⁴¹ There were two debtors to a certain creditor, the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. ⁴² And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more? ⁴³ And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly. ⁴⁴ And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much. ⁴⁶ Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷ For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹ And those who sat together began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins? ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.
