Included among the women were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Mary Magdalene was near the tomb. The other Mary was also there.

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

One of the Pharisees asked him to dine with him. He went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to eat. A sinful woman went to the Pharisee's house. She brought an alabaster vase filled with ointment. read more. Standing by his feet weeping, she wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with the hair of her head. Then she kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. The Pharisee saw it and thought to himself if this man were a prophet he would know what kind of woman touched him. She is a sinner. Jesus said to Simon: I have something to tell you. He replied: What teacher? A certain lender had two debtors. One owed five hundred shillings and the other fifty. They did not have money to pay the debt so he forgave them both. Which of them did he love the most? Simon answered: I suppose it was the one whom he forgave the most. Jesus said: Your judgment is correct. Turning to the woman, he said to Simon: See this woman? I entered into your house and you gave me no water for my feet. She watered my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. You did not kiss me. Since the time I came in she has not ceased kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil. She anointed my feet with ointment. She loved much! She has many sins and they are forgiven. When little is forgiven, little love is shown. He said to her: Your sins are forgiven! Those who ate with him said within themselves: Who is this who even forgives sins? He said to the woman: You are saved because of your faith. Go in peace.
