Luke 7:36-8:3.
Luke 7:36—8:3 (GNT)
36 "A Pharisee invited Jesus to have dinner with him, and Jesus went
to his house and sat down to eat. 37 In that town was a woman who
lived a sinful life. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's
house, so she brought an alabaster jar full of perfume 38 and stood
behind Jesus, by his feet, crying and wetting his feet with her tears.
Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them, and poured the
perfume on them. 39 When the Pharisee saw this, he said to himself,
"If this man really were a prophet, he would know who this woman is
who is touching him; he would know what kind of sinful life she
lives!" 40 Jesus spoke up and said to him, "Simon, I have something to
tell you." "Yes, Teacher," he said, "tell me." 41 "There were two men
who owed money to a moneylender," Jesus began. "One owed him five
hundred silver coins, and the other owed him fifty. 42 Neither of them
could pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Which one, then,
will love him more? " 43 "I suppose," answered Simon, "that it would
be the one who was forgiven more." "You are right," said Jesus. 44
Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman?
I came into your home, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she
has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. 45 You
did not welcome me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my
feet since I came. 46 You provided no olive oil for my head, but she
has covered my feet with perfume. 47 I tell you, then, the great love
she has shown proves that her many sins have been forgiven. But
whoever has been forgiven little shows only a little love. " 48 Then
Jesus said to the woman, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 The others
sitting at the table began to say to themselves, "Who is this, who
even forgives sins?" 50 But Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has
saved you; go in peace." 1 Some time later Jesus traveled through
towns and villages, preaching the Good News about the Kingdom of God.
The twelve disciples went with him, 2 and so did some women who had
been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called
Magdalene), from whom seven demons had been driven out; 3 Joanna,
whose husband Chuza was an officer in Herod's court; and Susanna, and
many other women who used their own resources to help Jesus and his
disciples."
Please say this prayer:
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
