Luke 7:44-47

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; d you gave me no water for my feet, but e she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 f You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to g kiss my feet. 46 h You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, i which are many, are forgiven - for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little."
