LUKE 7:36-5036 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee\u2019s house and reclined at the table. 37 When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee\u2019s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38 and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, \u201cIf this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is\u2014that she is a sinner.\u201d 40 Jesus answered him, \u201cSimon, I have something to tell you.\u201d \u201cTell me, teacher,\u201d he said.41 \u201cTwo men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?\u201d 43 Simon replied, \u201cI suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.\u201d\u201cYou have judged correctly,\u201d Jesus said. 44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, \u201cDo you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven\u2014for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.\u201d 48 Then Jesus said to her, \u201cYour sins are forgiven.\u201d 49 The other guests began to say among themselves, \u201cWho is this who even forgives sins?\u201d 50 Jesus said to the woman, \u201cYour faith has saved you; go in peace.\u201d
