tcent Luke:7:36-50
tcent@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went to the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
tcent@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfume,
tcent@Luke:7:38 @ and as she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
tcent@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, »If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.«
tcent@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answered him, »Simon, I have something to say to you.« And he said, »Teacher, say it.«
tcent@Luke:7:41 @ »A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
tcent@Luke:7:42 @ When they had nothing with which to pay him back, he freely forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?«
tcent@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, »I suppose the one to whom he forgave more.« And he said to him, »You have judged rightly.«
tcent@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned toward 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 wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
tcent@Luke:7:45 @ You gave me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet from the time I came in.
tcent@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
tcent@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.«
tcent@Luke:7:48 @ And he said to her, »Your sins are forgiven.«
tcent@Luke:7:49 @ Then those who reclined at the table with him began to say among themselves, »Who is this who even forgives sins?«
tcent@Luke:7:50 @ He said to the woman, »Your faith has saved you; go in peace.«
