Luke 7:36
Douay-Rheims
And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. 67. in Matt.) We have need then of a fervent spirit, for nothing hinders a man from becoming great. Let then no sinner despair, no virtuous man fall asleep; neither let the one be self-confident, for often the harlot shall go before him, nor the other distrustful, for he may even surpass the foremost. Hence it is also here added, But he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven thee.
