Luke 7:39-46 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

39. Then the Pharisee, who had invited him, upon seeing this, spoke within himself, saying, "This man, if he were a prophet, would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this, who is touching him: that she is a sinner."

40. And in response, Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said, "Speak, Teacher."

41. "A certain creditor had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42. And since they did not have the ability to repay him, he forgave them both. So then, which of them loves him more?"

43. In response, Simon said, "I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most." And he said to him, "You have judged correctly."

44. And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet. But she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with her hair.

45. You gave no kiss to me. But she, from the time that she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

46. You did not anoint my head with oil. But she has anointed my feet with ointment.
