Part 13

42:007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

42:007:034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

42:007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

42:007:036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

42:007:037 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

42:007:038 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

42:007:039 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

42:007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

42:007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42:007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

42:007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

42:007:044 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

42:007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

42:007:047 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

42:007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

42:007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

42:007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

42:008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

42:008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

42:008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

42:008:005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

42:008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

42:008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

42:008:008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

42:008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

42:008:010 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
