Luke 7:36-50 - A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet
36 One of the Pharisees asked him to dinner, and entering the house of the Pharisee he reclined at table. 37 Now there was a woman in the town who was a sinner, and when she found out that Jesus was at table in the house of the Pharisee, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume 38 and stood behind him at his feet in tears; her tears began to wet his feet, so she wiped them with the hair of her head, pressed kisses on them, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 When his host the Pharisee noticed this, he said to himself, "If he was a prophet he would know what sort of a woman this is who is touching him; for she is a sinner."
40 Then Jesus addressed him. "Simon," he said, "I have something to say to you." "Speak, teacher," he said.
41 "There was a moneylender who had two debtors; one owed him fifty pounds, the other five. 42 As they were unable to pay, he freely forgave them both. Tell me, now, which of them will love him most?"
43 "I suppose," said Simon, "the man who had most forgiven." "Quite right," he said. 44 Then turning to the woman he said to Simon, "You see this woman? When I came into your house, you never gave me water for my feet, while she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair; 45 you never gave me a kiss, while ever since she came in she has kept pressing kisses on my feet; 46 you never anointed my head with oil, while she has anointed my feet with perfume. 47 Therefore I tell you, many as her sins are, they are forgiven, for her love is great; whereas he to whom little is forgiven has but little love." 48 And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 His fellow guests began to say to themselves, "Who is this, to forgive even sins?"
50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
