A Sinful Woman Forgiven

Luke 7:36-50
36Then one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and after he entered the house of the Pharisee he sat down. 37And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinful woman, came to know that he was reclining in the home of the Pharisee; she brought a jar of ointment. 38She stood behind his feet, weeping, and began to wet his feet with her tears; she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him, for she is sinful." 40And answering, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. He said, Teacher, speak. 41Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42When they had nothing to pay, he forgave both; therefore which of them will love him more? 43Answering, Simon said, "I suppose the one to whom he forgave more." He said to him, "You have judged correctly." 44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered your house, yet you gave me no water for my feet; she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You gave me no kiss, but she has not ceased to kiss my feet since the time she came in. 46You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47Therefore I tell you, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little loves little. 48Then he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. 49Those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins? 50He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
