* But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him . And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table ; * and behold , a woman in the city , who was a sinner , and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee , having taken an alabaster box of myrrh , * and standing at his feet behind [him ] weeping , began to wash his feet with tears ; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head , and kissed his feet , and anointed [them ] with the myrrh . * And the Pharisee who had invited him , seeing it , spoke with himself saying , This [person ] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him , for she is a sinner . * And Jesus answering said to him , Simon , I have somewhat to say to thee . And he says , Teacher , say [it ]. * There were two debtors of a certain creditor : one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty ; * but as they had nothing to pay , he forgave both of them [their debt ]: [say ,] which of them therefore will love him most ? * And Simon answering said , I suppose he to whom he forgave the most . And he said to him , Thou hast rightly judged . * And turning to the woman he said to Simon , Seest thou this woman ? I entered into thy house ; thou gavest me not water on my feet , but she has washed my feet with tears , and wiped them with her hair . * Thou gavest me not a kiss , but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet . * My head with oil thou didst not anoint , but she has anointed my feet with myrrh . * For which cause I say to thee , Her many sins are forgiven ; for she loved much ; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little . * And he said to her , Thy sins are forgiven . * And they that were with [them ] at table began to say within themselves , Who is this who forgives also sins ? * And he said to the woman , Thy faith has saved thee ; go in peace .
