³⁶ Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have a meal with him. So, He went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the [dinner] table. [Note: Matt. 23:6]. ³⁷ And when a sinful woman from the town learned that He was having dinner at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster [i.e., stone] jar of liquid perfume, ³⁸ and stood behind Jesus, at His feet, crying. She began wetting His feet with her tears and wiping them dry with the hair of her head. Then she kissed His feet and poured the perfume on them. ³⁹ Now when the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who touched him and what kind of a woman she was --- a sinner.” ⁴⁰ Then Jesus said to him, “Simon [See verse 43], I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Teacher, [go ahead and] say it.” ⁴¹ [Jesus then gave this parable]: A certain moneylender had two men who owed him money; one owed him five hundred coins [Note: The total amount was 500 days of a farm laborer’s pay, or about $35,000 in 1994], and the other man [owed him] fifty coins [Note: About $3,500 in 1994]. ⁴² When these two men did not have [the money] to repay him, the moneylender canceled [the debts of] both of them. Now which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answered, “The one who had the largest debt canceled, I suppose.” Jesus said to him, “You are right.” ⁴⁴ Then Jesus turned to the woman [who had just poured the perfume on Him] and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you did not give me any water for [washing] my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them dry with her hair. ⁴⁵ You did not give me a kiss [of greeting], but from the time I came in [to your house] she has not stopped kissing my feet. ⁴⁶ You did not pour [aromatic] oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. ⁴⁷ For this reason, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. [Note: This suggests that her forgiveness was the result of her loving, but the point Jesus makes better fits the idea that her forgiveness produced love]. But the person who is forgiven of little [i.e., of only a few sins], loves [only] a little bit.” ⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.” ⁴⁹ And those who were reclining at the [dinner] table with Him began saying among themselves, “Who is this person who can even forgive sins?” ⁵⁰ Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you [i.e., from condemnation]. Go [away] in peace.”

⁴⁵ You did not give me a kiss [of greeting], but from the time I came in [to your house] she has not stopped kissing my feet.
