She wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed His feet repeatedly, and anointed them with the perfume. 39 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 kind of woman is touching Him—she is a sinner.' 40 And Jesus answered him, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' Simon replied, 'Say it, Teacher.' 41 'A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When neither of them could pay, he forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?' 43 Simon answered, 'I suppose the one who had the larger debt forgiven.' Jesus said to him, 'You have judged correctly.' 44 Turning to the woman, He said to Simon, 'Do you see this woman? I entered your house, and 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 from the time I came in, she has not stopped kissing My feet. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, as her great love has shown. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.' 48 Then Jesus said to her, 'Your sins are forgiven.' 49 Those who were reclining at the table began to say among themselves, 'Who is this who even forgives sins?' 50 And Jesus said to the woman, 'Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.'
