37and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.`
40And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;` and he saith, `Teacher, say on.`
41`Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
42and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?`
43And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;` and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.`
