A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet

36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at table. 37 Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having ascertained that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38 And placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
