3. 
Rising up from the synagogue he (Jesus) entered into the house of Simon.
|
16.
A certain Pharisee asked (Jesus) if he would eat with him. So on entering into the house of (Simon) the Pharisee he reclined.
|
As it was, Simon's mother-in-law had been seized with a big fever and they ask him about her.
|
Then behold a woman known as a sinner who was in the city and who knew he was reclining in the Pharisee's house brought in an alabaster box of ointment.
|
Standing over her
|
Standing behind him at his feet she was weeping.
|
(He) rebuked the fever and it left her.
|
With her tears she began to wet his feet and with her hair she was wiping his feet. She fervently kissed his feet and anointed them with ointment. But on seeing this, the Pharisee who invited him thought within himself saying. "If this man were the prophet he would have known who and what sort of woman is touching him because she is a sinner. And anwering him Jesus said "Simon. I have something to say." He replied "Teacher say it." Jesus said "A certain creditor had two debtors. One of them owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty. Now neither could repay and he freely forgave them. Which of them would love him more?" Answering Simon said "I supposed the one to whom he freely forgave more." And he said to him. "You have judged rightly." And turning to the woman and to Simon he said. "Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you did not give me any water for my feet.
|
At once she got up and served them.
|
But this woman with her tears has wet my feet and has wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss. But this woman has not ceased to fervently kiss my feet since I entered. You did not anoint my head with oil. But this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
|
Then as the sun was setting everyone who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He put his hands on each one of them and healed them.
|
Because of this, I tell you her many sins have been forgiven her because she has loved much. But the one to whom little is forgiven, he loves little." And He said to her "Your sins are forgiven."
|
There were many demons who came out crying out and saying “You are the Son of God.” Rebuking them he did not allow them to speak because they knew him to be the Christ.
|
So those who reclining with him began to say amongst themselves. "Who is this who even forgives sins." But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
