Luke 7:39-50 ▼

39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, |If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.|

40 And Jesus answered him, |Simon, I have something to say to you.| And he replied, |Say it, Teacher.|

41 |A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42 |When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?|

43 Simon answered and said, |I suppose the one whom he forgave more.| And He said to him, |You have judged correctly.|

44 Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, |Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45 |You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

46 |You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.

47 |For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.|

48 Then He said to her, |Your sins have been forgiven.|

49 Those who were reclining [at the table] with Him began to say to themselves, |Who is this [man] who even forgives sins?|

50 And He said to the woman, |Your faith has saved you; go in peace.|
