Cuando Jesús terminó todas sus palabras^a al pueblo que le oía¹, ^bse fue a Capernaúm.

2 Y el siervo de cierto centurión, a quieneste apreciaba mucho¹, estaba enfermo y a punto de morir. 3 Al oír hablar de Jesús, el centurión^a envió a Él unos ancianos de los judíos, pidiéndole que viniera y salvara¹ a su siervo. 4 Cuando ellos llegaron a Jesús, le rogaron con insistencia, diciendo: El centurión es digno de que le concedas esto; 5 porque él ama a nuestro pueblo¹ y fue él quien nos edificó la sinagoga. 6 Jesús iba con ellos, pero cuando ya no estaba lejos de la casa, el centurión envió a unos amigos, diciéndole: Señor, no te molestes más, porque no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo; 7 por eso ni siquiera me consideré digno de ir a ti, tansolo di la¹ palabra y mi siervo² será sanado. 8 Pues yo también soy hombre puesto bajo autoridad, y tengo soldados bajo mis órdenes; y digo aeste: «Ve», y va; y a otro: «Ven», y viene; y a mi siervo: «Haz esto», y lo hace. 9 Al oír esto, Jesús se maravilló de él, y volviéndose, dijo a la multitud que le seguía: Os digo que ni aun en Israel he hallado una fe tan grande^a. 10 Y cuando los que habían sido enviados regresaron a la casa, encontraron sano al siervo.

11 Aconteció poco después¹ que Jesús fue a una ciudad llamada Naín; y sus discípulos iban con Él acompañados por² una gran multitud. 12 Y cuando se acercaba a la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí, sacaban fuera a un muerto, hijo único de su madre, y ella era viuda; y un grupo numeroso de la ciudad estaba con ella. 13 Al verla, el Señor^a tuvo compasión de ella, y le dijo: No llores. 14 Y acercándose, tocó el féretro; y los que lo llevaban se detuvieron. Y Jesús dijo: Joven, a ti te digo: ¡Levántate! 15 El que había muerto se incorporó y comenzó a hablar, y Jesús se lo entregó a su madre. 16 El temor se apoderó de todos^a, y glorificaban a Dios^b, diciendo: Un gran profeta^c ha surgido entre nosotros, y: Dios ha visitado a su pueblo. 17 Y este dicho que se decía de Él, se divulgó por toda Judea y por toda la región circunvecina^a.

18 ^aEntonces los discípulos de Juan le informaron de todas estas cosas. 19 Y llamando Juan a dos¹ de sus discípulos, los envió al Señor^a, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el que ha de venir, o esperamos a otro²? 20 Cuando los hombres llegaron a Él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado a ti, diciendo: «¿Eres tú el que ha de venir, o esperamos a otro?». 21 En esa misma hora curó a muchos de enfermedades^a y aflicciones^b, y malos espíritus, y a muchos ciegos les dio la vista. 22 Y respondiendo Él, les dijo: Id y contad a Juan lo que habéis visto y oído: los CIEGOS RECIBEN LA VISTA, los cojos andan, los leprosos quedan limpios y los sordos oyen, los muertos son resucitados y a los POBRES SE LES ANUNCIA EL EVANGELIO^a. 23 Y bienaventurado es el que no se escandaliza de mí.

24 Cuando los mensajeros de Juan se fueron, Jesús comenzó a hablar a las multitudes acerca de Juan: ¿Qué salisteis a ver en el desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento? 25 Mas, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un hombre vestido con ropas finas? Mirad, los que visten con esplendor y viven en deleites están en los palacios de los reyes. 26 Pero, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un profeta? Sí, os digo, y uno que es más que un profeta. 27 Este es aquel de quien está escrito:«HE AQUÍ, YO ENVÍO MI MENSAJERO DELANTE DE TU FAZ,QUIEN PREPARARÁ TU CAMINO DELANTE DE TI^a». 28 Os digo que entre los nacidos de mujer¹, no hay nadie mayor que Juan; sin embargo, el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es mayor que él. 29 Cuando todo el pueblo y los recaudadores de impuestos¹ le oyeron, reconocieron la justicia^a de Dios², siendo bautizados^b con el bautismo de Juan^c. 30 Pero los fariseos y los intérpretes de la ley^1a rechazaron los propósitos de Dios para con ellos, al no ser bautizados por Juan². 31 ¿A qué, entonces, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y a qué son semejantes? 32 Son semejantes a los muchachos que se sientan en la plaza y se llaman unos a otros, y dicen: «Os tocamos la flauta, y no bailasteis; entonamos endechas, y no llorasteis». 33 Porque ha venido Juan el Bautista, que no come pan, ni bebe vino^a, y vosotros decís: «Tiene un demonio». 34 Ha venido el Hijo del Hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: «Mirad, un hombre glotón y bebedor de vino, amigo de recaudadores de impuestos y de pecadores». 35 Pero¹ la sabiduría es justificada^a por todos sus hijos.

36 Uno de los fariseos le pedía que comiera con él; y entrando en la casa del fariseo, se sentó¹ a la mesa. 37 Y he aquí, había en la ciudad una mujer que era pecadora, y cuando se enteró de que Jesús estaba sentado¹ a la mesa en casa del fariseo, trajo un frasco de alabastro con perfume^a; 38 y poniéndose detrás de Él a sus pies, llorando, comenzó a regar sus pies con lágrimas y los secaba con los cabellos de su cabeza, besaba sus pies y los ungía con el perfume. 39 Pero al ver esto el fariseo que le había invitado, dijo para sí¹: Sieste fuera un profeta^2a, sabría quién y qué clase de mujer es la que le está tocando, que es una pecadora. 40 Y respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Simón, tengo algo que decirte: Y él dijo*: Di, Maestro. 41 Cierto prestamista tenía dos deudores; uno le debía quinientos denarios^1a y el otro cincuenta; 42 y no teniendo ellos con qué pagar^a, perdonó generosamente a los dos. ¿Cuál de ellos, entonces, le amará más? 43 Simón respondió, y dijo: Supongo que aquel a quien le perdonó más. Y Jesús le dijo: Has juzgado correctamente. 44 Y volviéndose hacia la mujer, le dijo a Simón: ¿Ves esta mujer? Yo entré a tu casa y no me diste agua para los pies^a, pero ella ha regado mis pies con sus lágrimas y los ha secado con sus cabellos. 45 No me diste beso^a, pero ella, desde que entré, no ha cesado¹ de besar mis pies. 46 No ungiste mi cabeza con aceite^a, pero ella ungió mis pies con perfume. 47 Por lo cual te digo que sus pecados, que son muchos, han sido perdonados, porque amó mucho; pero a quien poco se le perdona, poco ama. 48 Y a ella le dijo: Tus pecados han sido perdonados^a. 49 Los que estaban sentados¹ a la mesa con Él comenzaron a decir entre sí: ¿Quién eseste que hasta perdona pecados^a? 50 Pero Jesús dijo a la mujer: Tu fe te ha salvado^a, vete en paz^b.

^aAfter He had finished all that He had to say in the hearing of the people, ^bHe went to Capernaum. Matt 8:5-13

2 Now a Roman ¹centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and on the verge of death. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, ^ahe sent some Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. 4 When they reached Jesus, they pleaded with Him earnestly to come, saying, “He is worthy for You to do this for him, 5 because he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue at his own expense.” 6 And Jesus went with them. But when He was near the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You. But just speak a word, and my slave will be healed. 8 For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9 Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, “I say to you, ^anot even in Israel have I found such great faith as this man’s.” 10 When the messengers who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

11 Soon afterward Jesus went to a city called Nain near Nazareth, and His disciples and a large crowd accompanied Him. 12 Now as He approached the city gate, a dead man was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her in the funeral procession. 13 When ^athe Lord saw her, He felt great compassion for her, and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 And He came up and touched the bier on which the body rested, and the pallbearers stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise from death!” 15 The man who was dead sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 ^aFear and profound awe gripped them all, and they began ^bglorifying and honoring and praising God, saying, “A great ^cprophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited His people to help and care for and provide for them!” 17 ^aThis news about Him spread through all of Judea and in all the surrounding countryside. 1+@Kin 17:17-24; 2+@Kin 4:32-37

18 ^aJohn’s disciples brought word to him in prison of all these things. Matt 11:2-19 19 John called two of his disciples and sent them to ^athe Lord, saying, “Are You the ¹Expected One (the Messiah) , or should we look for someone else?” 20 So the men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptist sent us to You to ask, ‘Are You the Expected One (the Messiah) , or should we look for someone else?’” 21 At that very hour Jesus ^ahealed many people of sicknesses and ^binfirmities and evil spirits; and He gave the gracious gift of sight to many who were blind. 22 So He replied to them, “Go and tell John about everything you have seen and heard: the ^aBLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the ^bPOOR HAVE THE GOOD NEWS (gospel) PREACHED TO THEM. Is 29:18, 19; 35:5, 6; 61:1 23 Blessed joyful, spiritually favored is he who does not take offense at Me.”

24 When John’s messengers left, Jesus began speaking to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? ¹A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing entirely unsuited for the harsh wilderness? Those who wear splendid clothing and live in luxury are in royal palaces! 26 But what did you really go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one ¹far more eminent and remarkable than a prophet who foretells the future. 27 This is the one of whom it is written by the prophet Malachi,‘^aBEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU,WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.’ Mal 3:1 28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater in privilege than he.” 29 All the people and the tax collectors who heard Jesus, acknowledged the validity of ^aGod’s justice, ^bhaving been baptized with ^cthe baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the ^alawyers who were experts in the Mosaic Law annulled and set aside God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John.

31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation who set aside God’s plan, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, and saying, ‘We played the flute for you pretending to be at a wedding, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge pretending to be at a funeral, and you did not weep so nothing we did appealed to you.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come ^aneither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a man who is a glutton and a heavy wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners including non-observant Jews.’ 35 Yet wisdom ^ais vindicated and shown to be right by all her children by the lifestyle, moral character, and good deeds of her followers.”

36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and He went into the Pharisee’s house in the region of Galilee and reclined at the table. 37 ^aNow there was a woman in the city who was known as a ¹sinner; and ²when she found out that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume; 38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began wetting His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and respectfully kissed His feet as an act signifying both affection and submission and ¹anointed them with the perfume. 39 Now when Simon the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this Man were ^aa prophet He would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching Him, that she is a notorious sinner an outcast, devoted to sin.”

40 Jesus, answering, said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Teacher, say it.” 41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors: one owed him five hundred ^1adenarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they ^ahad no means of repaying the debts, he freely forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I take it, for whom he forgave more.” Jesus said to him, “You have decided correctly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house but you failed to extend to Me the usual courtesies shown to a guest; you ^agave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair demonstrating her love. 45 You ^agave Me no welcoming kiss, but from the moment I came in, she has not ceased to kiss My feet. 46 ^aYou did not even anoint My head with ordinary oil, but she has anointed My feet with costly and rare perfume. 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 Then He said to her, “^aYour sins are forgiven.” 49 Those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying among themselves, “^aWho is this who even forgives sins?” 50 Jesus said to the woman, “^aYour faith in Me has saved you; ^bgo in peace free from the distress experienced because of sin.”

^aWhen He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, ^bHe went to Capernaum.

2 And a centurion’s slave, ¹who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die. 3 When he heard about Jesus, ^ahe sent some ¹Jewish elders asking Him to come and ²save the life of his slave. 4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him; 5 for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue.” 6 Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “¹Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof; 7 for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just ¹say the word, and my ²servant will be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 9 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, “I say to you, ^anot even in Israel have I found such great faith.” 10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

11 Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, ¹accompanied by a large crowd. 12 Now as He approached the gate of the city, ¹a dead man was being carried out, the ²only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. 13 When ^athe Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, “¹Do not weep.” 14 And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!” 15 The ¹dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 ^aFear gripped them all, and they began ^bglorifying God, saying, “A great ^cprophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has ¹visited His people!” 17 ^aThis report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.

18 ^aThe disciples of John reported to him about all these things. 19 Summoning ¹two of his disciples, John sent them to ^athe Lord, saying, “Are You the ²Expected One, or do we look for someone else?” 20 When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ‘Are You the ¹Expected One, or do we look for someone else?’” 21 At that ¹very time He ^acured many people of diseases and ^bafflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind. 22 And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the ^aBLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the ^bPOOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. 23 Blessed is he ¹who does not take offense at Me.”

24 When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 ¹But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft ²clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces! 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written,‘^aBEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER ¹AHEAD OF YOU,WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.’ 28 I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is ¹least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they ¹acknowledged ^aGod’s justice, ^bhaving been baptized with ^cthe baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the ^1alawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by ²John.

31 “To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come ^aeating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a ¹drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and ²sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom ^ais vindicated by all her children.”

36 Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to ¹dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 ^aAnd there was a woman in the city who was a ¹sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume, 38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were ^aa prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a ¹sinner.”

40 And Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he ¹replied, “Say it, Teacher.” 41 “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred ^1adenarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they ^awere unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So 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 judged correctly.” 44 Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you ^agave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You ^agave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. 46 ^aYou did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 Then He said to her, “^aYour sins have been forgiven.” 49 Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say ¹to themselves, “^aWho is this man who even forgives sins?” 50 And He said to the woman, “^aYour faith has saved you; ^bgo in peace.”

^aWhen He had completed all His ¹teaching in the hearing of the people, ^bHe went to Capernaum.

2 Now a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die. 3 When he heard about Jesus, ^ahe sent some ¹Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. 4 When they came to Jesus, they strongly urged Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him; 5 for he loves our nation, and it was he who built us our synagogue.” 6 Now Jesus started on His way with them; but already, when He was not yet far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “¹Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to enter under my roof; 7 for that reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You; but just ¹say the word, and my servant ²shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under myself; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 9 Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, “I say to you, ^anot even in Israel have I found such great faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

11 Soon afterward Jesus went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, ¹accompanied by a large crowd. 12 Now as He approached the gate of the city, ¹a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. 13 When ^athe Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said to her, “Do not go on weeping.” 14 And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 ^aFear gripped them all, and they began ^bglorifying God, saying, “A great ^cprophet has appeared among us!” and, “God has ¹visited His people!” 17 ^aAnd this report about Him spread throughout Judea and in all the surrounding region.

18 ^aThe disciples of John also reported to him about all these things. 19 And after summoning ¹two of his disciples, John sent them to ^athe Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to ²look for another?” 20 When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, ¹to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One, or are we to ²look for another?’” 21 At that very ¹time He ^acured many people of diseases and ^bafflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind. 22 And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: people who were ^ablind receive sight, people who limped walk, people with leprosy are cleansed and people who were deaf hear, dead people are raised up, and ^bpeople who are poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is ¹anyone who does not take offense at Me.”

24 When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the ¹wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 ¹But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces! 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:‘^aBEHOLD, I AM SENDING MY MESSENGER ¹AHEAD OF YOU,WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.’ 28 I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is ¹least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged ^aGod’s justice, ^bhaving been baptized with ^cthe baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the ^1alawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by ²John.

31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a song of mourning, and you did not weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come neither ^aeating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a ¹heavy drinker, a friend of tax collectors and ²sinners!’ 35 And yet wisdom ^ais vindicated by all her children.”

36 Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 ^aAnd there was a woman in the city who was a ¹sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume, 38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and began kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this Man were ^aa prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a ¹sinner!”

40 And Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he ¹replied, “Say it, Teacher.” 41 “A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred ^1adenarii, and the other, fifty. 42 When they ^awere unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you ^agave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You ^1agave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in. 46 ^aYou did not ¹anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And He said to her, “^aYour sins have been forgiven.” 49 And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying ¹to themselves, “^aWho is this Man who even forgives sins?” 50 And He said to the woman, “^aYour faith has saved you; ^bgo in peace.”
