Two Sinners
Luke 7:36-48
Skip Heitzig
Luke 7 (NKJV™) | |
36 | Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat. |
37 | And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, |
38 | and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. |
39 | Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner." |
40 | And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said, "Teacher, say it." |
41 | "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. |
42 | "And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?" |
43 | Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have rightly judged." |
44 | Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. |
45 | "You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. |
46 | "You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. |
47 | "Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." |
48 | Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." |
