7:36 有一個法利賽人請耶穌和他吃飯；耶穌就到法利賽人家裡去坐席。
7:37 那城裡有一個女人，是個罪人，知道耶穌在法利賽人家裡坐席，就拿著盛香膏的玉瓶，
7:38 站在耶穌背後，挨著他的腳哭，眼淚溼了耶穌的腳，就用自己的頭髮擦乾，又用嘴連連親他的腳，把香膏抹上。
7:39 請耶穌的法利賽人看見這事，心裡說：「這人若是先知，必知道摸他的是誰，是個怎樣的女人；乃是個罪人。」
7:40 耶穌對他說：「西門！我有句話要對你說。」西門說：「夫子，請說。」
7:41 耶穌說：「一個債主有兩個人欠他的債；一個欠五十兩銀子，一個欠五兩銀子；
7:42 因為他們無力償還，債主就開恩免了他們兩個人的債。這兩個人哪一個更愛他呢？」
7:43 西門回答說：「我想是那多得恩免的人。」耶穌說：「你斷的不錯。」
7:44 於是轉過來向著那女人，便對西門說：「你看見這女人嗎？我進了你的家，你沒有給我水洗腳；但這女人用眼淚溼了我的腳，用頭髮擦乾。
7:45 你沒有與我親嘴；但這女人從我進來的時候就不住地用嘴親我的腳。
7:46 你沒有用油抹我的頭；但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。
7:47 所以我告訴你，她許多的罪都赦免了，因為她的愛多；但那赦免少的，他的愛就少。」
7:48 於是對那女人說：「你的罪赦免了。」
7:49 同席的人心裡說：「這是甚麼人，竟赦免人的罪呢？」
7:50 耶穌對那女人說：「你的信救了你；平平安安回去吧！」
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 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.
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.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
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. 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—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
**************
聖經在這裡教導我們一個很重要的原則：真正愛主的人是感受自己多得恩免的人！
也因為這樣我們要如同保羅所說：「『基督耶穌降世，為要拯救罪人。』這話是可信的，是十分可佩服的。在罪人中我是個罪魁。然而，我蒙了憐憫，是因耶穌基督要在我這罪魁身上顯明他一切的忍耐，給後來信他得永生的人作榜樣。」(提摩太前書1:15-16)
所以，我們真認識自己是罪魁，竟然可以蒙上帝在基督裡如此的恩典！我們就會心被恩感來讚美與服事主了，從心中發頌讚！更發現「成聖」不是我們做了什麼，而是基督將聖潔賞賜給我們的！
正如保羅所說：「就如上帝從創立世界以前，在基督裡揀選了我們，使我們在他面前成為聖潔，無有瑕疵！」(以弗所書1:4)
