Evangélium szent János könyvéből
!Luke 7:36-50
Azon időben egy farizeus meghívta Jézust, hogy egyék nála. Betért hát a farizeus házába, és asztalhoz telepedett. Élt a városban egy bűnös nő. Amikor megtudta, hogy a farizeus házában van vendégségben, alabástrom edényben illatos olajat hozott. És így tovább.

!33rd on the Gospels.
When I think of the repentance of Mary Magdalene I feel nigher to weep than to say ought. Is there indeed any man, however stony his heart, who is not somewhat moved to follow the ensample of her repentance by the tears of that poor sinful woman? She weighed what she did, and would not that what she did should be niggardly. She came unbidden among the guests, and obtruded her tears upon the banquet. Ye may hence gather her sorrow, that she was content to weep at a feast.
