<TITLE>10. Par 115-119</TITLE>L-115 And now the--the Scripture reading is found over in Saint Luke the 7th chapter, and beginning with the 36th verse. I will read the one verse, then, when you go home, you read the rest of it. Saint Luke 7:36. Or, maybe I will read some, some of It, 'cause it's--it's good to read It.
You know, the Lord's Word is always perfect. You know, we just watch the ages roll on, watch science raise up and say, "Oh, God was mistaken there." In a few years they come back around, say, "You know, He was right." See? They always... See, they scientifically proved He's wrong, first, then they have to tear all their theology down, come back, and prove that He was right. See? So God just sets in the heavens and laughs at them, I suppose, and say, "Oh, my. Poor little kids, why don't you just come to yourself? Come, serve Me, and just believe what I said about it." See? That settles it.

L-117 So, now, I've given you a chance to turn to the Scripture.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went unto the Pharisee's house, and set down at meat.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus set at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and begin to wash his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed him with the ointment.
Now... the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet... (You get it?)... This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.
"If He was a prophet." See? That's what they had Him there for.
And Jesus answered, said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: and one owed five thousand pieces, and the other one fifty.
And when they had--when they had nothing to pay... frankly forgave both of them. Tell me whereof, which of them loved him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he... whom he forgive most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou givest me no water for my feet: but she's washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Thou givest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came... has not ceased kissing my feet.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Wherefore I say unto her... Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which were many, are forgiven; for she has loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven thee.
And they that sat at meat with him begin to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

L-119 You know, there's something wrong. To begin with, the--the picture don't look right, somehow. You can just tell, there's a little something wrong here. What would this Pharisee want with Jesus? He had nothing for Him. He hated Him. The Pharisees didn't like Jesus. Why, would he be asking Him to his dinner, for a guest, when he hated Him? Usually, men ask one another to dinner when they love one another. But this Pharisee inviting Jesus, that don't look right, does it? And it's just something wrong with the story here, somewhere.
So now, let's not be in no hurry. And let's just look this story over for a little while. Let's take it in a little way of drama. And let's--let's think it over. There's something wrong.
