Luke 7:36-50 - A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet
36 Jesus being invited to dinner at a certain Pharisee's house, he went home with him, and sat down to table. 37 when a woman of that city, one that had led a loose life, knowing that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, came in with a vial of odoriferous liquor, 38 and stood behind at his feet weeping, bath'd them with her tears, wiped them with her hair, kissed his feet, and poured the perfume upon them.
39 which the Pharisee, who had invited him, observing, he thus argued with himself, if this man were a prophet, he could not but know that the woman, who is so busy with him, is a person of a loose character.
40 in answer to his doubts, Jesus said, Simon, I have something to say to you. master, said he, lets hear it.
41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed five hundred denarys, and the other fifty. 42 having not wherewithal to pay it, he freely discharged them both of the debt. tell me now, which of the two will love him most?
43 I think, said Simon, he that had the greatest debt remitted to him. you are in the right, said Jesus. 44 and turning to the woman, he said to Simon, do you observe this woman? though I am a guest in your house, you never offer'd me any water for my feet: but she has bath'd my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 you did not salute me, but this woman, since she came in, has been continually kissing my feet. 46 you did not bestow any oil upon my head; but she has poured her rich perfume upon my feet. 47 wherefore, I tell you, her sins, which are numerous, are forgiven; and that is the reason of all this love: but his love is less, to whom less is forgiven. 48 then he said to her, your sins are forgiven.
49 but they who sat at table with him, began to ask one another, who is this, that pretends even to forgive sins?
50 but he said to the woman, your faith hath saved you: go in peace.
