43And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;` and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.`
44And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
45a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
46with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
47therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.`
48And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;`
49and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?`
