Luke 7:36-50

36 And one of the Pharisees was asking Him to eat with him; and, having entered into the Pharisee's house, He reclined at table. 37 And, behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and, learning that He was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster cruse of perfume; 38 and standing behind at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and wiped them off with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet, and anointing them with the perfume. 39 But, seeing it, the Pharisee who invited Him, spake in himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what sort of woman this is that is touching Him, because she is a sinner." 40 And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he says, "Teacher, say it." 41 "There were two debtors to a certain money-lender. The one owed five hundred denaries; and the other, fifty. 42 And, they having nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, therefore, will love him the more?" 43 Simon, answering, said, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the more." And He said to him, "Rightly did you judge." 44 And, turning to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you behold this woman! I entered into your house, you gave Me no water for My feet; but this woman wet My feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave Me no kiss; but she, from the time I entered, ceased not to kiss My feet. 46 My head with oil you did not anoint; but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47 Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; because she loved much; but he, to whom little is forgiven, loves little." 48 And He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven." 49 And those reclining with Him began to say in themselves, "Who is This That even forgiveth sins!" 50 And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
