Luke 7:36-50 - A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet
36 One of the Pharisees asked him to have dinner with him, and he went to the Pharisee's house and took his place at the table. 37 Now there was a woman in the town who was leading a sinful life, and when she learned that he was having dinner at the Pharisee's house, she got an alabaster flask of perfume, 38 and came and stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with her hair, and kissed them, and put the perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet, he would know who and what the woman is who is touching him, for she leads a wicked life."
40 Jesus answered him, and said to him, "Simon, there is something I want to say to you." He said, "Proceed, Master."
41 "Two men were in debt to a money-lender. One owed him a hundred dollars and the other ten. 42 As they could not pay him, he canceled what they owed him. Now which of them will be more attached to him?"
43 Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, for whom he canceled most." "You are right," he said. 44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came to your house; you did not give me any water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but from the moment I came in she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put any oil upon my head, but she has put perfume upon my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for she has loved me so much. But the man with little to be forgiven loves me but little." 48 And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven!"
49 The men at table with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this man, who even forgives sins?"
50 But he said to the woman, "It is your faith that has saved you. Go in peace."
