Luke 7:31-50

31To whom thereforeG3767 shall I liken the menG444 of this generationG1074, and to whom areG1510 they like? 32They areG1510 like childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the market-place, and calling oneG240 to another and sayingG3004, We have piped to you, and ye have not dancedG3738; we have mourned to you, and ye have not weptG2799. 33For JohnG2491 the baptistG910 has comeG2064 neither eatingG2068 breadG740 nor drinkingG4095 wineG3631, and ye sayG3004, He has a demonG1140. 34The SonG5207 of manG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and ye sayG3004, BeholdG2400 an eater and wine-drinker, a friendG5384 of tax-gatherers and sinnersG268; 35and wisdomG4678 has been justifiedG1344 of all her childrenG5043. 36But oneG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 beggedG2065 him that he would eatG2068 with him. And enteringG1525 into the houseG3624 of the PhariseeG5330 he took his place at table; 37and beholdG2400, a womanG1135 in the cityG4172, who wasG1510 a sinnerG268, and knewG1921 that he wasG1510 sitting at meat in the houseG3614 of the PhariseeG5330, having taken an alabasterG211 box of myrrh, 38and standingG2476 at his feetG4228 behind [him] weepingG2799, beganG757 to wash his feetG4228 with tearsG1144; and she wiped them with the hairsG2359 of her headG2776, and kissed his feetG4228, and anointedG218 [them] with the myrrh. 39And the PhariseeG5330 who had invited him, seeingG3708 it, spokeG3004 with himself sayingG3004, This [person] if he wereG1510 a prophetG4396 would have knownG1097 who and what the womanG1135 isG1510 who touches him, for she isG1510 a sinnerG268. 40And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 to him, SimonG4613, I have somewhat to sayG3004 to thee. And he saysG3004, TeacherG1320, sayG3004 [it]. 41There wereG1510 twoG1417 debtorsG5533 of a certainG5100 creditor: oneG1520 owedG3784 fiveG4001 hundredG4001 denariiG1220 and the otherG2087 fiftyG4004; 42but as they had nothing to payG591, he forgaveG5483 both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them thereforeG3767 will loveG25 him most? 43And SimonG4613 answeringG611 saidG3004, I suppose he to whom he forgaveG5483 the most. And he saidG3004 to him, Thou hast rightlyG3723 judgedG2919. 44And turningG4762 to the womanG1135 he saidG5346 to SimonG4613, Seest thou this womanG1135? I enteredG1525 into thy houseG3614; thou gavest me not waterG5204 on my feetG4228, but she has washed my feetG4228 with tearsG1144, and wiped them with her hairG2359. 45Thou gavest me not a kissG5370, but she from the time I cameG1525 in has not ceased kissing my feetG4228. 46My headG2776 with oilG1637 thou didst not anointG218, but she has anointedG218 my feetG4228 with myrrh. 47For which cause I sayG3004 to thee, Her manyG4183 sinsG266 are forgivenG863; for she lovedG25 muchG4183; but he to whom littleG3641 is forgivenG863 lovesG25 littleG3641. 48And he saidG3004 to her, Thy sinsG266 are forgivenG863. 49And they that wereG1510 with [them] at table beganG757 to sayG3004 within themselves, Who isG1510 this who forgivesG863 alsoG2532 sinsG266? 50And he saidG3004 to the womanG1135, Thy faithG4102 has savedG4982 thee; goG4198 in peaceG1515.
