Luke 7

7:26  But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

7:27  This is he of whom it is written¹, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

7:28  I say unto you, Among them that are born of women¹ there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

7:29  And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John¹.

7:30  But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him¹.

7:32  They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another¹; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.

7:33  For John the Baptist is come¹ eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.

7:36  And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him¹. And he entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat².

7:37  And behold, a woman who was in the city¹, a sinner²; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment³,

¹7:38  and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

7:39  Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet¹, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is² that toucheth him, that she is a sinner³.

7:40  And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee¹. And he saith, Teacher, say on².

7:41  A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty¹.

7:42  When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both¹. Which of them therefore will love him most²?

7:43  Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most¹. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged².

7:44  And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman¹? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair².

7:45  Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet¹.

7:46  My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment¹.

7:47  Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven¹; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little².

7:48  And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven¹.

7:49  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves¹, Who is this that even forgiveth sins²?

7:50  And he said unto the woman¹, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace².
