Luke 7:31-50

31“To whatG5101 thenG3767 shall I compareG3666 the menG444 of thisG3778 generationG1074, and whatG5101 are they likeG3664? 32They are likeG3664 childrenG3813 who sitG2521 in the marketG58 placeG58 and callG4377 to oneG240 anotherG240, and they sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 the fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 a dirgeG2354, and you did not weepG2799.’ 33For JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has comeG2064 1eatingG2068 noG3361 breadG740 and drinkingG4095 noG3383 wineG3631, and you sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 34The SonG5207 of ManG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and you sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 2drunkardG3630, a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 3sinnersG268!’ 35YetG2532 wisdomG4678 4is vindicatedG1344 by allG3956 her childrenG5043.”

36NowG1161 oneG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 was requestingG2065 Him to 5dineG2068 with him, and He enteredG1525 the Pharisee’sG5330 houseG3624 and reclinedG2625 at the table. 376And there was a womanG1135 in the cityG4172 whoG3748 was a 7sinnerG268; and when she learnedG1921 that He was recliningG2621 at the table in the Pharisee’sG5330 houseG3614, she broughtG2865 an alabasterG211 vialG211 of perfumeG3464, 38and standingG2476 behindG3694 Him at His feetG4228, weepingG2799, she beganG757 to wetG1026 His feetG4228 with her tearsG1144, and kept wipingG1591 them with the hairG2359 of her headG2776, and kissingG2705 His feetG4228 and anointingG218 them with the perfumeG3464. 39NowG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 who had invitedG2564 Him sawG3708 this, he saidG3004 to himselfG1438, “IfG1487 thisG3778 manG3778 were 8a prophetG4396 He would knowG1097 whoG5101 and whatG4217 sortG4217 of personG4217 thisG3588 womanG1135 is whoG3748 is touchingG681 Him, that she is a 9sinnerG268.” 40And JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “SimonG4613, I haveG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG3004 to you.” And he 10repliedG5346, “SayG3004 it, TeacherG1320.” 41“A moneylenderG1157 hadG1510 twoG1417 debtorsG5533: oneG1520 owedG3784 fiveG4001 hundredG4001 1112denariiG1220, and the otherG2087 fiftyG4004. 42When they 13were unableG3361G2192 to repayG591, he graciouslyG5483 forgaveG5483 them bothG297. SoG3767 whichG5101 of them will loveG25 him moreG4183?” 43SimonG4613 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “I supposeG5274 the one whomG3739 he forgaveG5483 moreG4183.” And He saidG3004 to him, “You have judgedG2919 correctlyG3723.” 44TurningG4762 towardG4314 the womanG1135, He saidG5346 to SimonG4613, “Do you seeG991 thisG3778 womanG1135? I enteredG1525 your houseG3614; you 14gaveG1325 Me noG3756 waterG5204 for My feetG4228, but she has wetG1026 My feetG4228 with her tearsG1144 and wipedG1591 them with her hairG2359. 45You 15gaveG1325 Me noG3756 kissG5370; but she, sinceG575 the time I cameG1525 in, has not ceasedG1257 to kissG2705 My feetG4228. 4616You did not anointG218 My headG2776 with oilG1637, but she anointedG218 My feetG4228 with perfumeG3464. 47For thisG3739 reasonG5484 I sayG3004 to you, her sinsG266, which are manyG4183, have been forgivenG863, for she lovedG25 muchG4183; but he whoG3739 is forgivenG863 littleG3641, lovesG25 littleG3641.” 48ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to her, “17Your sinsG266 have been forgivenG863.” 49ThoseG3588 who were recliningG4873 at the table with Him beganG757 to sayG3004 18to themselvesG1438, “19WhoG5101 is thisG3778 man whoG3739 evenG2532 forgivesG863 sinsG266?” 50And He saidG3004 to the womanG1135, “20Your faithG4102 has savedG4982 you; 21goG4198 in peaceG1515.”
