Luke
Luke 7:39–40
39When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him — for she is a sinner!”
40But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
