Luke 7:41

Luke 7:41

39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, ^a“This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”

40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Teacher, say it.”

41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred ^adenarii, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, 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 rightly judged.”

44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no ^awater for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

45 You gave Me no ^akiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.
