Luke 7:17-40

¹⁷Then went and told lots of other people what they saw, so people everywhere in Judea country heard that story.

³⁶One of the Jewish law men asked Jesus to eat dinner with him. He belonged to the mob called Pharisees. Jesus went to his house and sat down at the table.

³⁷There was a woman in that town that used to do bad things. She heard that Jesus was eating dinner with that man, so she got a pretty jar of special oil and went to his house. That oil had a really good smell, and it cost a lot of money.

³⁸Then she went inside and stood behind Jesus. She was crying and her tears fell on his feet. Then she dried his feet with her hair, and she kissed them, then she poured all that special oil on to his feet.

³⁹The Jewish law man saw her do that and he said to himself, “I knew it. This man is not one of God’s men. He is letting a bad woman touch him. I reckon he doesn’t know she did a lot of bad things, so I reckon he doesn’t have God’s power.”

⁴⁰Jesus said to him, “Simon, I want to tell you something.” Simon said, “All right, Teacher, tell me.”
