Luke 7:36–50

^36aAnd one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. ³⁷And behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought ^ban alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did ^cwipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. ³⁹Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, ^dThis man, if he were ^ea prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. ⁴⁰And Jesus ^fanswering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. ⁴¹There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one ought five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he ^gfrankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? ⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. ⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, ^hthou gavest me no water for my feet: but ⁱshe hath washed my feet with tears, and ^cwiped them with the hairs of her head. ^45kThou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. ^46lMine head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she ^mloved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. ⁴⁸And he said unto her, ⁿThy sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, ^oWho is this that forgiveth sins also? ⁵⁰And he said to the woman, ^pThy ^mfaith hath ^qsaved thee; ^rgo in peace.
