Luke 7:38-46
38As she stoodG2476 behind HimG3694 atG3844 HisG846 feetG4228 weepingG2799, she beganG756 to wetG1026 HisG846 feetG4228 withG3588 her tearsG1144 andG2532 wipeG1591 them withG3588 her hairG2359G3588G846G2776. ThenG2532 she kissedG2705 HisG846 feetG4228 andG2532 anointedG218 them with theG3588 perfumeG3464.
39WhenG1161 theG3588 PhariseeG5330 whoG3588 had invitedG2564 Jesus sawG3708 this, he saidG2036 toG1722 himselfG1438, “IfG1487 thisG3778 man wereG1510 a prophetG4396, He would knowG1097 whoG5101 this is andG2532 what kindG4217 ofG3588 womanG1135 is touchingG680 HimG846—forG3754 she isG1510 a sinnerG268!”
40ButG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611G2036G4314 himG846, “SimonG4613, I haveG2192 somethingG5100 to tellG2036 youG4771.”
“TellG2036 me, TeacherG1320,” he saidG5346.
41“TwoG1417 men wereG1510 debtorsG5533 to a certain moneylenderG5100G1157. OneG1520 owedG3784 him five hundredG4001 denariiG1220,1 andG1161 theG3588 otherG2087 fiftyG4004. 42When theyG846 were unableG2192G3361 to repayG591 him, he forgaveG5483 bothG297 of them. WhichG5101 one, thenG3767, will loveG25 himG846 moreG4119?”
43“I supposeG5274 theG3739 one who was forgivenG5483 moreG4119,” SimonG4613 repliedG611G2036.
“You have judgedG2919 correctlyG3723,” Jesus saidG2036.
44AndG2532 turningG4762 towardG4314 theG3588 womanG1135, He saidG5346 to SimonG4613, “Do you seeG991 thisG3778 womanG1135? When I enteredG1525G1519 yourG4771 houseG3614, you did not giveG1325G3756 Me waterG5204 forG1909 MyG1473 feetG4228, butG1161 she wetG1026 MyG1473 feetG4228 with herG3778 tearsG1144 andG2532 wipedG1591 them withG3588 herG846 hairG2359. 45You did not greetG3756G1325 MeG1473 with a kissG5370, butG1161 sheG3778 has not stoppedG3756G1257 kissingG2705 MyG1473 feetG4228 sinceG575G3739 I arrivedG1525. 46You did not anointG3756G218 MyG1473 headG2776 with oilG1637, butG1161 sheG3778 has anointedG218 MyG1473 feetG4228 with perfumeG3464.
