Luke 7:40-50
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. 47ThereforeG5484 I tellG3004 youG4771, herG846 manyG4183 sinsG266 have been forgivenG863, forG3754 she has lovedG25 muchG4183. ButG1161 he whoG3739 has been forgivenG863 littleG3641 lovesG25 littleG3641.”
48ThenG1161 Jesus saidG2036 to herG846, “YourG4771 sinsG266 are forgivenG863.”
49ButG2532 thoseG3588 at the tableG4873 beganG756 to sayG3004 toG1722 themselvesG1438, “WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 whoG3739 evenG2532 forgivesG863 sinsG266?”
50AndG1161 Jesus toldG2036G4314 theG3588 womanG1135, “YourG4771 faithG4102 has savedG4982 youG4771; goG4198 inG1519 peaceG1515.”
