LUK 7:36–50, engwebp
³⁶One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
³⁷Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
³⁸Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
⁴⁰Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
⁴¹“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
⁴²When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
⁴³Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
⁴⁴Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
⁴⁵You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
⁴⁶You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
⁴⁷Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
⁴⁸He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
⁴⁹Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
⁵⁰He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
