And Jesus addressing himself to him said, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he said, Master, speak freely. A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. But having nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Tell me, which of these, then, will love him most? And Simon answering said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly. So turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thine house, even water for my feet thou gavest not; but she hath washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. One kiss hast thou not given me, but she from the time she hath come in, hath not ceased tenderly to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou hast not anointed; but she hath anointed my feet with odoriferous balm. For which cause, I tell thee, her many sins are forgiven, for she hath loved much: but to whom a little is forgiven, he loveth little. And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground. Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her. And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst. Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
