Luke 7:30-50 - Interlinear Bible
30
But the
Pharisees and the
lawyers rejected God's purpose for
themselves, not having been
baptized by John.
31
"To
what then shall I
compare the
men of
this generation, and
what are they
like ?
32
"They are
like children who
sit in the
market place and
call to
one another, and they
say, 'We
played the
flute for you, and you did not
dance ; we
sang a
dirge, and you did not
weep.'
36
Now one of the
Pharisees was
requesting Him to
dine with him, and He
entered the
Pharisee's house and
reclined at the table.
37
And there was a
woman in the
city who was a
sinner ; and when she
learned that He was
reclining at the table in the
Pharisee's house, she
brought an
alabaster vial of
perfume,
38
and
standing behind Him at His
feet,
weeping, she
began to
wet His
feet with her
tears, and kept
wiping them with the
hair of her
head, and
kissing His
feet and
anointing them with the
perfume.
39
Now 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 sort of
person this woman is
who is
touching Him, that she is a
sinner."
Parable of Two Debtors
42
"When they were
unable * to
repay, he
graciously forgave them
both.
So 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
judged correctly."
44
Turning toward the
woman, He
said to
Simon, "Do you
see this woman ? I
entered your
house ; 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 she,
since the time I
came in, has not
ceased to
kiss My
feet.
46
" You did not
anoint My
head with
oil, but she
anointed My
feet with
perfume.
47
"For
this reason I
say to you, her
sins, which are
many, have been
forgiven, for she
loved much ; but he
who is
forgiven little,
loves little."
48
Then He
said to her, " Your
sins have been
forgiven."
49
Those who were
reclining at the table with Him
began to
say to
themselves, "
Who is
this man
who even forgives sins ?"
50
And He
said to the
woman, " Your
faith has
saved you;
go in
peace."
