Luke 7:36-47

36NowG1161 oneG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 was requestingG2065 Him to eatG2068 with him, and He enteredG1525 the Pharisee’sG5330 houseG3624 and reclinedG2625 at the table.

371And there was a womanG1135 in the cityG4172 whoG3748 was a 2sinnerG268; 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 she wipedG1591 them with the hairG2359 of her headG2776, and began 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 3a prophetG4396 He would knowG1097 whoG5101 and whatG4217 sortG4217 ofG4217 personG4217 thisG3588 womanG1135 is whoG3748 is touchingG681 Him, that she is a 4sinnerG268!”

40And JesusG2424 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to him, “SimonG4613, I haveG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG3004 to you.” And he 5repliedG5346, “SayG3004 it, TeacherG1320.”

41“A moneylenderG1157 hadG1510 twoG1417 debtorsG5533: the oneG1520 owedG3784 fiveG4001 hundredG4001 67denariiG1220, and the otherG2087, fiftyG4004.

42When they 8were unableG3361G2192 to repayG591, he canceledG5483 the debtsG5483 of bothG297. SoG3767 whichG5101 of them will loveG25 him moreG4183?”

43SimonG4613 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “I assumeG5274 the one for whomG3739 he canceledG5483 the greaterG4183 debtG5483.” And He saidG3004 to him, “You have judgedG2919 correctlyG3723.”

44And turningG4762 towardG4314 the womanG1135, He saidG5346 to SimonG4613, “Do you seeG991 thisG3778 womanG1135? I enteredG1525 your houseG3614; you 9gaveG1325 Me noG3756 waterG5204 for My feetG4228, but she has wetG1026 My feetG4228 with her tearsG1144 and wipedG1591 them with her hairG2359.

45You 1011gaveG1325 Me noG3756 kissG5370; but she has not stoppedG1257 kissingG2705 My feetG4228 sinceG575 the time I cameG1525 inG1525.

4612You did not 13anointG218 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 the one whoG3739 is forgivenG863 littleG3641, lovesG25 littleG3641.”
