A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet

36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. So he went to the Pharisee's home and took his place at the table. 37 There was a woman who was a notorious sinner in that city. When she learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's home, she took an alabaster jar of perfume 38 and knelt at his feet behind him. She was crying and began to wash his feet with her tears and dry them with her hair. Then she kissed his feet over and over again, anointing them constantly with the perfume.
