Luke 7:39-50 ▼

39 When the pharisee which had bydden hym, sawe, he spake within hym selfe, saying: If this man were a prophete, he woulde surely knowe who, & what maner of woman this is, that touched hym, for she is a sinner.

40 And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he sayde: Maister, say on.

41 There was a certayne lender, which had two detters: The one ought fyue hundred pence, and the other fyftie.

42 When they had nothyng to pay, he forgaue them both. Tell me therefore, which of them wyll loue hym most?

43 Simon aunswered and sayde: I suppose, that he to whom he forgaue most. And he sayde vnto hym: Thou haste truely iudged.

44 And he turned to the woman, & sayde vnto Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entred into thyne house, thou gauest me no water for my feete, but she hath wasshed my feete with teares, & wyped them with the heeres of her head.

45 Thou gauest me no kysse: but she, sence the tyme I came in, hath not ceassed to kysse my feete.

46 Myne head with oyle thou dyddest not anoynt: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.

47 Wherfore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgeuen her: for she loued much. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doth lesse loue.

48 And he sayde vnto her: thy sinnes are forgeuen thee.

49 And they that sate at meate with hym, began to say within them selues, Who is this that forgeueth sinnes also?

50 And he sayde to the woman: Thy fayth hath saued thee, go in peace.
