mnt - Luke:7:36-50

mnt@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees kept urging him to dine, so he entered the house and reclined at table.

mnt@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume,

mnt@Luke:7:38 @ and standing behind, at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with her hair, while she tenderly kissed his feet, and poured the perfume over them.

mnt@Luke:7:39 @ When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."

mnt@Luke:7:40 @ Jesus then spoke to him. "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.

mnt@Luke:7:41 @ "There were once to men," said Jesus, "in debt to one money- lender. One owed him fifty pounds; the other five.

mnt@Luke:7:42 @ "When they had nothing pay he forgave them with such charm. "Tell me, then, which of these will love him most?"

mnt@Luke:7:43 @ "I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most."

mnt@Luke:7:44 @ "You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

mnt@Luke:7:45 @ "You gave me no kiss; but she, since she came in, has never ceased tenderly kissing my feet;

mnt@Luke:7:46 @ "you never anointed my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with my feet with perfume.

mnt@Luke:7:47 @ "This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.

mnt@Luke:7:48 @ "Your sins are forgiven," he said to her.

mnt@Luke:7:49 @ Then the other guest began to say among themselves, "Who is this even to forgive sins?"

mnt@Luke:7:50 @ But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
