*
Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him .
And He went to the Pharisee '
s house ,
and sat down to eat .
*
And behold ,
a woman in the city who was a sinner ,
when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee '
s house ,
brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil ,
*
and stood at His feet behind Him weeping ;
and she began to wash His feet with her tears ,
and wiped them with the hair of her head ;
and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil .
*
Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this ,
he spoke to himself ,
saying , "
This Man ,
if He were a prophet ,
would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him ,
for she is a sinner ."
*
And Jesus answered and said to him , "
Simon ,
I have something to say to you ."
So he said , "
Teacher ,
say it ."
* "
There was a certain creditor who had two debtors .
One owed five hundred denarii ,
and the other fifty .
*
And when they had nothing with which to repay ,
he freely forgave them both .
Tell Me ,
therefore ,
which of them will love him more ?"
*
Simon answered and said , "
I suppose the one whom he forgave more ."
And He said to him , "
You have rightly judged ."
*
Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon , "
Do you see this woman ?
I entered your house ;
you gave Me no water for My feet ,
but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head .
*
You gave Me no kiss ,
but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in .
*
You did not anoint My head with oil ,
but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil .
*
Therefore I say to you ,
her sins ,
which are many ,
are forgiven ,
for she loved much .
But to whom little is forgiven ,
the same loves little ."
*
Then He said to her , "
Your sins are forgiven ."
*
And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves , "
Who is this who even forgives sins ?"
*
Then He said to the woman , "
Your faith has saved you .
Go in peace ."
