7:36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. 37 When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume,

3

38 and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

4

LK 7:39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is--that she is a sinner."

5

LK 7:40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. LK 7:41 "Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"

42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"

LK 7:43 Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said. LK 7:44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

8

. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

9

7:48 Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." LK 7:49 The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" LK 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

up greed--God is our witness. 6 We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or

anyone else.

42

He thought this is his chance to find a fault in Jesus

The woman rushed to Jesus , so he did not have time

He is pretending to be too holy to talk to a sinner

Men did not talk to women in public

May be knows something against him.

50

Bowed down at His feet

Humble

51





Watered His feet with her tears

•Repentance•She came with all her heart

52

Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a

man has long hair,

it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman

has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her

as a covering.
