Luke 7:38-50

³⁸and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁹And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

⁴¹A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.

⁴²When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?

⁴³Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.

⁴⁴And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

⁴⁵No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.

⁴⁷Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.

⁴⁸And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.

⁴⁹And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

⁵⁰But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
