7 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

36One of the Pharisees invited him to dinner; he went to the Pharisee's house and took his place at table.A Sinful Woman Forgiven Lk.7.36-50 (Capernaum?)Ἠρώτα δέ τις αὐτὸν τῶν Φαρισαίων ἵνα φάγῃ μετ' αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Φαρισαίου κατεκλίθη.
37A woman who was living an immoral life in the town had learned that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee's house and had brought oil of myrrh in a small flask. καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἡτις ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἀμαρτωλός, καὶ ἐπιγνοῦσα ὅτι κατάκειται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ Φαρισαίου, κομίσασα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου
38She took her place behind him, by his feet, weeping. His feet were wetted with her tears and she wiped them with her hair, kissing them and anointing them with the myrrh. καὶ στᾶσα ὀπίσω παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ κλαίουσα, τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἠρξατο βρέχειν τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ταῖς θριξὶν τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς ἐξέμασσεν, καὶ κατεφίλει τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠλειφεν τῷ μύρῳ.
39When his host the Pharisee saw this he said to himself, 'If this fellow were a real prophet, he would know who this woman is that touches him, and what sort of woman she is, a sinner.' ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Φαρισαῖος ὁ καλέσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων, Οὗτος εἰ ἦν προφήτης, ἐγίνωσκεν ἂν τίς καὶ ποταπὴ ἡ γυνὴ ἡτις ἀπτεται αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἀμαρτωλός ἐστιν.
40Jesus took him up and said, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' 'Speak on. Master', said he. καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Σίμων, ἐχω σοί τι εἰπεῖν. ὁ δέ, Διδάσκαλε, εἰπέ, φησίν.
41'Two men were in debt to a money-lender: one owed him five hundred silver pieces, the other fifty. δύο χρεοφειλέται ἦσαν δανιστῇ τινι· ὁ εἷς ὠφειλεν δηνάρια πεντακόσια, ὁ δὲ ἑτερος πεντήκοντα.
42As neither had anything to pay with he let them both off. Now, which will love him most?' μὴ ἐχόντων αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο. τίς οὖν αὐτῶν πλεῖον ἀγαπήσει αὐτόν;
43Simon replied, 'I should think the one that was let off most.' 'You are right', said Jesus. ἀποκριθεὶς Σίμων εἶπεν, Ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι ᾧ τὸ πλεῖον ἐχαρίσατο. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ὀρθῶς ἐκρινας.
44Then turning to the woman, he said to Simon, 'You see this woman? I came to your house: you provided no water for my feet; but this woman has made my feet wet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τῷ Σίμωνι ἐφη, Βλέπεις ταύτην τὴν γυναῖκὰ; εἰσῆλθόν σου εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, ὑδωρ μοι ἐπὶ πόδας οὐκ ἐδωκας· αὑτη δὲ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἐβρεξέν μου τοὺς πόδας καὶ ταῖς θριξὶν αὑτῆς ἐξέμαξεν.
45You gave me no kiss; but she has been kissing my feet ever since I came in. φίλημά μοι οὐκ ἐδωκας· αὑτη δὲ ἀφ' ἧς εἰσῆλθον οὐ διέλιπεν καταφιλοῦσά μου τοὺς πόδας.
46You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with myrrh. ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου οὐκ ἠλειψας· αὑτη δὲ μύρῳ ἠλειψεν τοὺς πόδας μου.
47And so, I tell you, her great love proves that her many sins have been forgiven; where little has been forgiven, little love is shown.' οὗ χάριν λέγω σοι, ἀφέωνται αἱ ἀμαρτίαι αὐτῆς αἱ πολλαί, ὅτι ἠγάπησεν πολύ· ᾧ δὲ ὀλίγον ἀφίεται, ὀλίγον ἀγαπᾷ.
48Then he said to her, 'Your sins are forgiven.' εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ, Ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἀμαρτίαι.
49The other guests began to ask themselves, 'Who is this, that he can forgive sins?' καὶ ἠρξαντο οἱ συνανακείμενοι λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, Τίς οὗτός ἐστιν ὃς καὶ ἀμαρτίας ἀφίησιν;
50But he said to the woman, 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'
 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, Ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.
