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.

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,

And he said to the man who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, for then they will invite you in return and you will be repaid.

He said to him, "A man once gave a great dinner, and invited a large number to it,

and when the dinner hour came, he sent around his slave, to say to those who were invited, 'Come! for it is now ready!'

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited shall have any of my dinner!' "
