head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
[39] 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.
[40] And Jesus answering
said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
[41] There was
a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
[42] And
when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love
him most?
[43] Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said
unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
[44] 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.
[45] Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman
since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
[46] My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but
this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
[47] 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.
[48] And he
said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
[49] And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves,
Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
[50] And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Luke.8
[1] 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,
[2] And certain women, which had
been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
[3]
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto
him of their substance.
[4] And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out
of every city, he spake by a parable:
[5] 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.
[6] And some fell upon a
rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
[7] And some fell
among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
[8] 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.
[9] And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
[10] 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.
[11] Now the parable is this: The seed
is the word of God.
[12] Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away
the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
[13] They on the rock are they, which,
when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time
of temptation fall away.
[14] And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go
forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
[15]
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep
it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
[16] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel,
or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
[17]
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known
and come abroad.
[18] Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
[19] Then came to him
his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
[20] And it was told him by certain
which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
[21] And he answered and
said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
[22] Now it
came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us
go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
[23] But as they sailed he fell asleep: and
there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
[24]
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked
the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
[25] And he said unto them,
Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is
this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
[26] And they arrived at the country
of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
[27] And when he went forth to land, there met him out
of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house,
