Luke 7:38Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.Luke 7:39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”Luke 7:40Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”Luke 7:41“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.Luke 7:42When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”Luke 7:43Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”Luke 7:44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.Luke 7:45You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.Luke 7:46You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.Luke 7:47Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”Luke 7:48He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”Luke 7:49Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”Luke 7:50He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”Luke 10:25Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”Luke 10:26He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”Luke 10:27He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”Luke 10:28He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”Luke 10:29But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”Luke 10:30Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.Luke 10:31By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.Luke 10:32In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.Luke 10:33But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,Luke 10:34came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.Luke 10:35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’Luke 10:36Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”Luke 10:37He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”Luke 11:33“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.Luke 11:34The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.Luke 11:35Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.Luke 11:36If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”Luke 11:37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.Luke 11:38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.Luke 11:39The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.Luke 11:40You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?Luke 11:41But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.Luke 11:42But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.Luke 11:43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.Luke 11:44Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”Luke 11:45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”Luke 11:46He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.Luke 11:47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.Luke 11:48So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.Luke 11:49Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,Luke 11:50that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;Luke 11:51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.Luke 11:52Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”Luke 11:53As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;Luke 11:54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.Luke 15:2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”Luke 15:25“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.Luke 15:26He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.Luke 15:27He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’Luke 15:28But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.Luke 15:29But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.Luke 15:30But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’Luke 15:31“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.Luke 15:32But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”Luke 16:14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.Luke 16:15He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.Luke 18:9He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
