4:38-41 Rising up from the synagogue he (Jesus) entered into the house of Simon. As it was, Simon's mother-in-law had been
seized with a big fever and they ask him about her. Standing over her (He) rebuked the fever
and it left her. At once she got up
and served them. Then as the sun was
setting everyone who had people sick with various diseases brought them to
him. He put his hands on each one of
them and healed them. There were
many demons who came out crying out and saying
“You are the Son of God.” Rebuking
them he did not allow them to speak because they knew him to be the Christ.

7:36-50 A certain Pharisee asked (Jesus) if he would eat
with him. So on entering into the house of the Pharisee he reclined.
Then behold a woman known as a sinner who was in the city and who
knew he was reclining in the Pharisee's house brought in an alabaster box
of ointment. Standing behind him at
his feet she was weeping. With her
tears she began to wet his feet and with her hair she was wiping his
feet. She fervently kissed his feet
and anointed them with ointment. But
on seeing this, the Pharisee who invited him thought within himself saying.
"If this man were the prophet he would have known who and what sort of
woman is touching him because she is a sinner. And anwering him Jesus said "Simon. I have something to say." He replied "Teacher say
it." Jesus said "A certain
creditor had two debtors. One of
them owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty. Now neither could repay and he freely
forgave them. Which of them would
love him more?" Answering Simon
said "I supposed the one to whom he freely forgave more." And he
said to him. "You have judged rightly." And turning to the woman and to Simon he
said. "Do you see this woman? I
came into your house and you did not give me any water for my feet. But this woman with her tears has wet my
feet and has wiped them with her hair.
You did not give me a kiss.
But this woman has not ceased to fervently kiss my feet since I
entered. You did not anoint my head
with oil. But this woman has
anointed my feet with ointment.
Because of this, I tell you her many sins have been forgiven her
because she has loved much. But the
one to whom little is forgiven, he loves little." And He said to her "Your sins are
forgiven." So those who
reclining with him began to say amongst themselves. "Who is this who
even forgives sins." But he
said to the woman. "Your faith
has saved you. Go in peace."
