36 And one of the Pharisees asked him if he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house and sat down to food. 37 And, behold, a woman who had been a sinner in the city, when she knew that Jesus sat at food in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 and stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to wash his feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him, for she is a sinner. 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denarius, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he released them both from their debt. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned to the woman and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou didst give me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 Thou didst not anoint my head with oil; but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And those that sat at food with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
