his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 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."
And Jesus answering said unto him, " Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee,"
