7:36 Now one of the Pharisees123 asked Jesus124 to have dinner with him, so125 he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table.126 7:37 Then127 when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus128 was dining129 at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar130 of perfumed oil.131 7:38 As132 she stood133 behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She134 wiped them with her hair,135 kissed136 them,137 and anointed138 them with the perfumed oil. 7:39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this,139 he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,140 he would know who and what kind of woman141 this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.” 7:40 So142 Jesus answered him,143 “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied,144 “Say it, Teacher.” 7:41 “A certain creditor145 had two debtors; one owed him146 five hundred silver coins,147 and the other fifty. 7:42 When they could not pay, he canceled148 the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 7:43 Simon answered,149 “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”150 Jesus151 said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 7:44 Then,152 turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet,153 but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 7:45 You gave me no kiss of greeting,154 but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet. 7:46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet155 with perfumed oil. 7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;156 but the one who is forgiven little loves little.” 7:48 Then157 Jesus158 said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”159 7:49 But160 those who were at the table161 with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 7:50 He162 said to the woman, “Your faith163 has saved you;164 go in peace.”
