New Testament

Luke 7:39-45 Good News Bible (GNB)

39. When the Pharisee saw this, he said to himself, “If this man really were a prophet, he would know who this woman is who is touching him; he would know what kind of sinful life she lives!”

40. Jesus spoke up and said to him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”“Yes, Teacher,” he said, “tell me.”

41. “There were two men who owed money to a moneylender,” Jesus began. “One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him fifty.

42. Neither of them could pay him back, so he cancelled the debts of both. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43. “I suppose,” answered Simon, “that it would be the one who was forgiven more.” “You are right,” said Jesus.

44. Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your home, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.

45. You did not welcome me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since I came.
