<TITLE>19. Par 66-68</TITLE>L-66 And up the street she went and bought an alabaster box of ointment. She slipped into the meeting. I don't know how she ever got there. And she looked, and there set Jesus. And when she got to Him, her heart begin to beat when she looked at Him.
And she fell down at His feet and she looked up. And she was so sinful till the tears begin to run down her face, and bathe upon His feet, you know. And she was--she was trying to wipe them. She was so afraid she's doing something wrong. She'd try to wipe them, and then go... [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.] and kissed His feet, and look up, and the tears running down. She'd reached and got her hair, and was wiping them off like that.
And she broke the alabaster box, and put it upon them, crying 'cause she knowed she was a sinner. And you know, she thought... If Jesus would've moved a foot, she would've run out of there. But you see, no matter what it is, you try to do a service for Him, He will let you do it. He likes for you to do a service for Him.
And I can just see Him standing there looking at her. And she's washing His feet, and she'd cry, "I know I'm a sinner. I ain't worthy to do this. But, Lord, I can't stand to see You setting there, and Your feet all dirty and smelling like this. It's not right," washing His feet like that, hysterically.

L-67 And old Pharisee, the old self-styled, turned around, and blowed up, said, "Hmph, Hmph. Oh, if He was a prophet, He'd know what kind of a woman was washing His feet, if He was a prophet. That proves He's not a prophet."
Jesus just set still till finally she got her service done. That's the way He does you or me. Go ahead and do your service. Then when He got done, He just stood and looked at her. And she raised back. What's He going to say? He never said to her...
He turned, and looked over to the Pharisees, and He said, "Simon, I've got something to say to you. You invited Me down here, and I come. But when I come, you never give Me no water for My feet. You never anointed My parching head here with ointment. You never give Me a kiss." (When you give a--the Palestinian kiss on the neck, "You're welcome. Come on in. You're a brother. You can go to the ice box, and get something to eat, and take off your shoes, and lay down across the chesterfield, and do what you want to. You're home when they kiss you welcome.) But said, "You never kissed Me welcome."
"But this woman" (He turned to her.) said, "this woman, ever since I've been in here, ever since she come, she's continually kissed My feet, and washed them with the tears of her eyes. (What beautiful water, tears of repentance, doing Him a service.) Oh, she's continually washed My feet with her tears. She's kissed My feet, not My neck, My feet, since I've been in here."

L-68 And she wonders what He's going to say. Her mouth's all greasy from the ointment; her big brown eyes are standing open; her hair is hanging down, the... Her face now is strained, and she wonders. Then He turns and looks at her. Now, see if He's a prophet or not. "And I say unto her, that her sins, which were many, are all forgiven her. (That's what I want to hear Him say.) Her sins, which were many, are all forgiven her." Amen. Was He a prophet?
