and you say, 'He has a demon.'
007:034 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say,
'Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax
collectors and sinners!'
007:035 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
007:036 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him.
He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
007:037 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew
that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought
an alabaster jar of ointment.
007:038 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet
with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head,
kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
007:039 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said
to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have
perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him,
that she is a sinner."

my feet with ointment.
007:047 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven,
for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven,
the same loves little."
007:048 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
007:049 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves,
"Who is this who even forgives sins?"
007:050 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you.

008:001 It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities
and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom
of God. With him were the twelve,
008:002 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom
seven demons had gone out;
008:003 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward; Susanna;
and many others; who served them{TR reads "him" instead of
