37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, as she knew that he was set down in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment;📜💬📚

38 and standing behind beside his feet, she began to water his feet with tears, & wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, & anointed them with the ointment.📜💬📚

39 And the Pharisee that had bid him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying: This man if he were a Prophet, would know certes who and what manner of woman she is which toucheth him, that she is a sinner.📜💬📚

40 And JESUS answering said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. But he said: Master, say.📜💬📚

41 A certain creditor had two debters; one did owe five hundred pence, & the other fifty.📜💬📚

42 They having not wherewith to pay, he forgave both. Whether therefore doth love him more?📜💬📚

43 Simon answering said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave more. But he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.📜💬📚

44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Doest thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, water to my feet thou didst not give; but she with tears hath watered my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.📜💬📚

45 Kiss thou gavest me not; but she since I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.📜💬📚

46 With oil thou didst not anoint my head; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.📜💬📚

47 For the which I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.📜💬📚

48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.📜💬📚

49 And they that sat together at the table began to say within them selves. Who is this that also forgiveth sins?📜💬📚

50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.📜💬📚
