God’s Word Translation
Luke 7:38-46
38and knelt at his feet. She was crying and washed his feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them over and over again, and poured the perfume on them.
39The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and thought, “If this man really were a prophet, he would know what sort of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner.”
40Jesus spoke up, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” Simon replied, “Teacher, you’re free to speak.”
41⌞So Jesus said,⌟ “Two men owed a moneylender some money. One owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other owed him fifty.
42When they couldn’t pay it back, he was kind enough to cancel their debts. Now, who do you think will love him the most?”
43Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled.” Jesus said to him, “You’re right!”
44Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “You see this woman, don’t you? I came into your house. You didn’t wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45You didn’t give me a kiss. But ever since I came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
46You didn’t put any olive oil on my head. But she has poured perfume on my feet.
