37. When a sinful woman in that town found out that Jesus was there, she bought an expensive bottle of perfume.
38. Then she came and stood behind Jesus. She cried and started washing his feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. The woman kissed his feet and poured the perfume on them.
39. The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and said to himself, “If this man really were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him! He would know that she is a sinner.”
40. Jesus said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”“Teacher, what is it?” Simon replied.
