44Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; pyou gave me no water for my feet, but qshe has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 rYou gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to skiss my feet. 46 tYou did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47Therefore I tell you, her sins, uwhich are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48And he said to her, v“Your sins are forgiven.” 49Then those who were at table with him began to say among ▼▼Or to
