Luke 7:36-50

36Now one of the Pharisees was asking Yeshua if He would eat with him. Upon entering the Pharisee’s home, He reclined at the table.

37And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she discovered that Yeshua was reclining at the Pharisee’s home, brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38As she stood behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to drench His feet with tears and kept wiping them with her head of hair. Then she was kissing His feet and anointing them with perfume.

39Now when the Pharisee who invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this were a prophet, He would know what sort of woman is touching Him—that she’s a sinner.”

40And answering, Yeshua said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Say it, Teacher!”

41“A moneylender had two debtors. One owed him five hundred denarii, but the other fifty.

42When neither could repay him, he canceled both debts. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.” “You have judged correctly,” Yeshua said.

44Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you didn’t give Me water for My feet. But she has drenched My feet with tears and wiped them with her hair.

45You didn’t greet Me with a kiss; but from the time she entered, she has not stopped kissing My feet.

46You didn’t anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47For this reason I tell you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven—for she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.

48He then said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.”

49But those who were reclining at table with Him began to say to one another, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”

50Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in shalom.”
