Luke 7:38-46

38and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began wetting His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and [respectfully] kissed His feet [as an act signifying both affection and submission] and anointed them with the perfume.

39Now when [Simon] the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this Man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching Him, that she is a [notorious] sinner [an outcast, devoted to sin].”

40Jesus, answering, said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Teacher, say it.”

41“A certain moneylender had two debtors: one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42When they had no means of repaying [the debts], he freely forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon answered, “The one, I take it, for whom he forgave more.” Jesus said to him, “You have decided correctly.”

44Then turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house [but you failed to extend to Me the usual courtesies shown to a guest]; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair [demonstrating her love].

45You gave Me no [welcoming] kiss, but from the moment I came in, she has not ceased to kiss My feet.

46You did not [even] anoint My head with [ordinary] oil, but she has anointed My feet with [costly and rare] perfume.
