And Simon, having answered, said, I suppose, that to whom he bestowed more favor. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly, And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: and she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: and she from when I came in left not kissing my feet. Thou anointedst not my head with oil: and she anointed my feet with perfumed oil. For which I say to thee, Her many sins are remitted; for she loved much: and he to whom little is remitted, loves little. And he said to her, Thy sins are remitted.

Upon the hands shall they lift thee up, lest thou shalt strike thy foot against a stone. Upon the lion and the asp, shalt thou tread: thou shalt tread down the young lion and the dragon. For he delighted in me and I will deliver him: I will exalt him, for he knew my name. He shall call me and I will answer him: I am with him in straits; I will deliver him and honor him. With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will cause him to look upon my salvation.

And where truly ye now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes away from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, That whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. Until now ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy might be completed. These have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the hour comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but with freedom of speech will I announce to you of the Father. In that day shall ye ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you: For the Father himself loves you, for ye have loved me, and believed that I came forth from God.
