Luke 7:36-47

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.
