Luke 7:36-50
New American Standard Bible
The Anointing in Galilee
36 Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 (A)And there was a woman in the city who was a [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 she wiped them with the hair of her head, and began 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 (B)a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a [b]sinner!”
Parable of Two Debtors
40 And Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he [c]replied, “Say it, Teacher.” 41 “A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred [d](C)denarii, and the other, fifty. 42 When they (D)were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you (E)gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You [e](F)gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in. 46 (G)You did not [f]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 the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And He said to her, “(H)Your sins have been forgiven.” 49 And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying [g]to themselves, “(I)Who is this man who even forgives sins?” 50 And He said to the woman, “(J)Your faith has saved you; (K)go in peace.”

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Is Anointed By a Sinful Woman. A Pharisee Objects
36 And one of the Pharisees was asking Him to eat with him. And having entered into the house of the Pharisee, He laid-down [to eat]. 37 And behold— there was a woman in the city who was a sinner. And having learned that He is reclining [to eat] at the house of the Pharisee, having brought an alabaster-jar of perfume[a], 38 and having stood behind Him at His feet weeping— she began to wet His feet with the tears, and was wiping them with the hair of her head. And she was kissing His feet, and anointing them with the perfume. 39 And having seen it, the Pharisee having invited Him spoke within himself, saying, “If this One were a prophet, He would know who and what-kind-of person the woman is who is touching Him— that she is a sinner”.
The One Forgiven Much Loves Much. Jesus Forgives Her Sins
40 And having responded, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to speak to you”. And the one says, “Teacher, speak”. 41 “There were two debtors to a certain lender. The one was owing five-hundred denarii[b], and the other, fifty. 42 They not having the means to pay, he forgave both. So which of them will love him more?” 43 And having responded, Simon said, “I assume that it is to whom he forgave the more”. And the One said to him, “You judged correctly”. 44 And having turned toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house— You did not give Me water for My feet. But this one wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give Me a kiss. But this one did not stop kissing My feet from which hour I came-in. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil. But this one anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For which reason I say to you— her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little”. 48 And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”. 49 And the ones reclining-back-with Him [to eat] began to say among themselves, “Who is this One, Who even forgives sins?” 50 And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace”.
