And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at dinner in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash 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 spoke within himself, saying, 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. And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves littlu. And he said to xer, Your sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace..... Luke 7:36-50
Warning of the sin which will not be forgiven,
The Blasphemy against the Holy SpiritThen was brought to him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.... Matthew 12:22-30
Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of in the day of judgment.
For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned. Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered , saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from you. But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the Prophet Jonah: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh ( Mosul in Iraq ) shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
The Queen (Sheba) of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he said, I will return into my house from where I came from; and when he arrives, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.... Matt 12:31-45
Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wheresoever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He has an unclean spirit Mark 3:28-30
Jesus' True Brothers , Sisters and Mother
Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come to him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you. And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke 8: 19-21
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore... And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine. .....
The Parable of the Sower - the four ways the Word of God is received
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said to them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear ... Mark 4:2-9
Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower privately to the Disciples And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah (6:9-10) which says, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For truly I say to you, That many Prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them. .....
Hear therefore the parable of the sower. When any one hears the word of the Kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and anon with joy receives it; Yet he has not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that receives seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.. Matt 13:14-
Jesus teaches us what Lamps are for And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said to them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has ....Mark 4:21-25
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is like a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? why then has it weeds? He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Should we go and gather them up? But he said, No; lest while you gather up the weeds you root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, (angels) Gather you together first the weeds, (fakes) and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.....Matt 13:24-30
Just as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.... Matthew 4:36-43
Jesus teaches many other Parables Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. All these things spoke Jesus to the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, (Isaiah) saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.... Matt 4:33-35
Jesus compares the growth of the Kingdom of God to a Mustard Seed And he said, to what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. And with many such parables he spoke the Word to them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable he spoke not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. .....Mark 4:30-34
Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a treasure hidden in a field Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides it, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field .... Matthew 4:44
Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a merchant seeking fine pearls Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matthew 4:45-46
Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a fishing net Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered fish of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and sorted the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. So shall it be at the end of this age: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there they shall wail and gnash their teeth. Jesus said to them, Have you understood all these things? They said to him, Yes, Lord. Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who teaches about the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a householder, which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place. ..Matt 4:47-53
