Luke 7:36-50 (KJV)
[36] And one of the Pharisees desired him that
he would eat with him. And he went into
the Pharisee's
house, and sat down to meat.
[37] And, behold, a woman in the city, which
was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at
meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an
alabaster box of ointment,
[38] And stood at his feet behind him weeping,
and began to wash his feet with tears,
and did wipe them with the hairs of her head,
and kissed his feet, and anointed
them with the ointment.
[39] Now when the Pharisee which had bidden
him saw it, he spake within himself, saying,
This man, if he were a prophet, would have
known who and what manner of woman this is
that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
[40] And Jesus answering said unto him,
Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee.
And he saith, Master, say on.
[41] There was a certain creditor which had
two debtors: the one owed five hundred
pence, and the other fifty.
[42] And when they had nothing to pay,
he frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him most?
[43] Simon answered and said, I suppose that
he, to whom he forgave most. And he said
unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
[44] And he turned to the woman, and said
unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered
into thine house, thou gavest me no water
for my feet: but she hath washed my feet
with tears, and wiped them with the
hairs of her head.
[45] Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman
since the time I came in hath not
ceased to kiss my feet.
[46] My head with oil thou didst not anoint:
but this woman hath anointed my feet
with ointment.
[47] Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins,
which are many, are forgiven; for she
loved much: but to whom little is forgive,
the same loveth little.
[48] And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
[49] And they that sat at meat with him began
to say within themselves, Who is this that
forgiveth sins also?
[50] And he said to the woman, Thy faith
hath saved thee; go in peace.
