Luke 7:36–44

³⁶Now one of the Pharisees was asking Him to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

^37aAnd behold, there was a woman in the city who was a ¹sinner. And when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

³⁸And standing behind Him at His feet, crying, she began to wet His feet with her tears. And she kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee, who had invited Him, saw this, he said to himself, saying, “If this man were ^aa prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.”

Parable of Two Debtors

⁴⁰And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he ¹replied, “Say it, Teacher.”

⁴¹“A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred ^1adenarii, and the other fifty.

⁴²“When they ^awere unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”

⁴³Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he graciously forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

⁴⁴And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you ^agave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
