Original text and translations

Latin text In diebus illis, mulier quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod Jesus accubuit in domo Simonis leprosi, attulit alabastrum unguenti: et stans retro secus pedes Domini Jesu, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat: et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. (Luke 7:37-38)

English translation And behold a woman that was in the citie, a sinner, as she knew that he was set downe in the Pharasees house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment: and standing behind beside his feete, she began to water his feete with teares, & wiped them with the hears of her head, & kissed his feete & anointed them with the ointment.  (Rheims New Testament, 1582)

Hungarian translation Azokban a napokban egy asszony, aki bűnös volt a városban, amint megtudta, hogy Jézus a leprás Simon házában étkezik, kenetet hozott egy alabástrom edényben. Megállt hátul az Úr Jézus lábainál, elkezdte könnyeivel öntözni a lábait, megtörölte hajával és csókolgatta lábait és megkente kenettel.
