Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet. Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh. Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little. And He said to her; Thy sins are forgiven.

Therefore you indeed also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one taketh your joy from you. And in that day you will ask of me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, Whatsoever you may ask the Father, He will give it to you in my name. Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy may be full. I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning the Father. In that clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, that I will ask the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you have believed that I came out from God.
