Luke 7:44
Thou gavest me no water - It was customary with the Jews to show respect and kindness to their welcome guests, by saluting them with a kiss, by washing their feet, and anointing their heads with oil, or some fine ointment.
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.
46 aYou did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.
47 aTherefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Then He said to her, a“Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, a“Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Then He said to the woman, a“Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
