geneva@Luke:7:37 @ And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
geneva@Luke:7:38 @ And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.

geneva@Luke:7:41 @ There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
geneva@Luke:7:42 @ When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
geneva@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most; he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
geneva@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
geneva@Luke:7:45 @ Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
geneva@Luke:7:46 @ Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
geneva@Luke:7:47 @ Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; (note:)That is, says Theophylact, she has shown her faith abundantly: and Basil in his «Sermon of Baptism» says, «He that owes much has much forgiven him, that he may love much more». And therefore Christ's saying is so plain in light of this that it is a wonder to see the enemies of the truth so badly distort and misinterpret this place in such a thorough manner in order to establish their meritorious works: for the greater sum a man has forgiven him, the more he loves him that has been so gracious to him. And this woman shows by deeds of love how great the benefit was she had received: and therefore the charity that is here spoken of is not to be taken as the cause of her forgiveness, but as a sign of it: for Christ does not say as the Pharisees did that she was a sinner, but bears her witness that the sins of her past life are forgiven her.(:note) for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
geneva@Luke:7:48 @ And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
geneva@Luke:7:49 @ And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
geneva@Luke:7:50 @ And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; (note:)He confirms with a blessing the benefit which he had bestowed.(:note) go in peace.
