Seeker Overlay ON

* And one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him . And going into the Pharisee 's house , He reclined . * And behold , a woman , a sinner in the city , knowing that He reclined in the Pharisee 's house , brought an alabaster vial of ointment . * And she stood behind [Him ], weeping at His feet , and she began to wash His feet with tears and wipe them with the hair of her head . And [she ] ardently kissed His feet and anointed [them ] with the ointment . * But seeing this , the Pharisee who had invited Him , spoke within himself , saying , This man , if he were a prophet , would have known who and what kind of woman [this is ] who touches him , for she is a sinner . * And answering , Jesus said to him , Simon , I have something to say to you . And he said , Teacher , speak . * There was a certain creditor who had two debtors . The one owed five hundred denarii , and [the ] other fifty . * And they having nothing to pay , he freely forgave both . Then which of them do [you ] say will love him most ? * And answering , Simon said , I suppose that one to whom he forgave most . And He said to him , You have judged rightly . * And He turned to the woman and said to Simon , Do you see this woman ? I entered into your house , yet you gave Me no water for My feet . But she has washed My feet with tears , and has wiped [them ] with the hair of her head . * You gave Me no kiss , but this woman , since the time I came in , has not ceased to kiss My feet . * You did not anoint My head with oil , but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment . * Therefore I say to you , Her sins , which are many , are forgiven , for she loved much . But to whom little is forgiven , he loves little . * And He said to her , Your sins are forgiven . * And those reclining with [Him ] began to say within themselves , Who is this who even forgives sins ? * And He said to the woman , Your faith has saved you , go in peace .
