bwe - Luke:7:36-50

bwe@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to come and eat with him. So Jesus went into the Pharisees house and sat down to eat.

bwe@Luke:7:37 @ In that city was a bad woman. When she knew that Jesus was eating at the Pharisees house, she came and brought a bottle of oil. It was oil that smelled very sweet and cost much money.

bwe@Luke:7:38 @ She stood behind Jesus by his feet, and she was crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Then she kissed his feet and put oil on them.

bwe@Luke:7:39 @ The Pharisee who had asked Jesus to his house saw this. He said to himself, If this man were a prophet of God, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She is a bad woman.

bwe@Luke:7:40 @ Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it.

bwe@Luke:7:41 @ Jesus said, There was a man who used to lend money to people. Two people owed him money. One man owed him five hundred pieces of silver money. The other owed him fifty pieces.

bwe@Luke:7:42 @ They could not pay the money, so he let them both free. Now which one of them will love him more?

bwe@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, I would say the one he let off the most. Jesus said, You are right.

bwe@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned towards the woman. He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

bwe@Luke:7:45 @ You did not kiss me. But since she came in, she has kissed my feet again and again.

bwe@Luke:7:46 @ You did not put oil on my head. But she has put sweet smelling oil on my feet.

bwe@Luke:7:47 @ So I tell you, she has done many wrong things, but she has been forgiven because she loved me so much. But one who has been forgiven a little loves me only a little

bwe@Luke:7:48 @ Jesus said to the woman, The wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Luke:7:49 @ Then those who were at the table with him began to say to themselves, Who is this man? He even forgives people for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Luke:7:50 @ Jesus said to the woman, You are saved because you believed. Go in peace.
