ine; and ye say:
He has a demon. (34)The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and
ye say: Behold a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of publicans
and sinners. (35)But wisdom was justified on the part of all her
children.

(36)And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him. And entering
into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined at table. (37)And, behold,
a woman who was a sinner in the city, learning that he is reclining at
table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of
ointment; (38)and standing behind at his feet weeping, began to wet
his feet with tears, and wipe them with the hairs of her head, and
kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

(39)And seeing it, the Pharisee who had bidden him spoke within
himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and
what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.
(40)And Jesus answering said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to
thee. And he says: Teacher, say on. (41)A certain money-lender had two
debtors. The one owed five hundred denaries[7:41], and the other

came in, ceased not to kiss my feet. (46)My head with oil thou didst
not anoint; but she anointed my feet with ointment. (47)Wherefore I
say to thee, her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much. But to
whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. (48)And he said to
her: Thy sins are forgiven. (49)And they who reclined with him began
to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins? (50)And
he said to the woman: Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

AND it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through every city
and village, preaching, and publishing the good news of the kingdom of
God; and with him the twelve, (2)and certain women who had been healed
of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called the Magdalene, from whom
had gone out seven demons, (3)and Joanna wife of Chuza, Herod's
steward, and Susanna, and many others, who minis
