Luke 7:38-46

38and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and began kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

39Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this Man were 1a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a 2sinner!”

40And Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he 3replied, “Say it, Teacher.”

41“A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred 45denarii, and the other, fifty.

42When they 6were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

44And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you 7gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45You 89gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in.

4610You did not 11anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.
