5 [7:31][And he said], To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? and what are they like? [7:32]They are like little children sitting in the market, and they call to each other, saying, We have played on pipes to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented. [7:33] For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon. [7:34]The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a glutton and a wine drinker! a friend of publicans and sinners! [7:35] And Wisdom is justified by all her children. CHAPTER X. CHRIST ANOINTED BY THE WOMAN, HIS TRAVELS AND ATTENDANTS, THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER. 1 [7:36]AND one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and going into the Pharisee's house he reclined. [7:37]And behold, a certain woman in the city, a sinner, knowing that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, brought a vase of ointment, [7:38]and standing behind, by his feet, weeping, washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. [7:39]And the Pharisee who invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying, If this was a prophet he would have known who and what kind of a woman this is who touches him; for she is a sinner. 2 [7:40]And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it. [7:41]A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed him five hundred denarii [$70], and the other fifty [$7]. [7:42]And having nothing to pay, he gave [the debt] to both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? [7:43]Simon answered and said, I suppose the one to whom he gave most. And he said to him, You have judged rightly. [7:44]And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house; you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs. [7:45]You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time that I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. [7:46]You anointed not my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment. [7:47]Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she has loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. [7:48]And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. [7:49]And those who reclined with him said within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? [7:50]And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace. 3 [8:1]And he travelled in order through the cities and villages, proclaiming and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him, [8:2]and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, from whom went out seven demons, [8:3]and Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susannah, and many others, who served them with their property.
