城中一女子、風塵中人也、知耶穌宴於法利塞家、乃攜玉壺貯芳液以至、侍耶穌後、伏其足下而泣、淚濺其足、以髮拭之、繼而吻之、敷以芳液。法利塞見而自思曰：「斯人苟為先知、當知撫之者為誰、寧不識此女乃風塵中人乎？」耶穌謂之曰：『西門、予有一言相告。』西門曰：『夫子請言。』曰『昔有一債主、有負債者二人、一負五百兩、一負五十兩、均無力以償、俱免之、二人之愛戴孰深？』西門曰：『予意寬貸較多者。』耶穌曰：『爾所見是也。』乃顧婦而謂西門曰：『盍視此女、予入爾家、爾未注水於我足、彼則以淚洗我足、以髮拭之；爾未嘗與予親吻、彼則自入室以來不輟吻予之足；爾未嘗以油敷我首、彼則以芳液敷我足。故予語爾、彼所有諸罪、悉見寬免；以彼之愛深也！惟蒙赦少者、其愛亦淺耳。』乃謂女曰：『爾罪赦矣！』同席者竊議曰：『彼何人斯、乃能赦罪耶！』耶穌復謂女曰：『汝之信德、玉汝於成；其安心以去。』

眾與稅吏、咸受洗於如望、聞其言莫不稱頌天主至德；

凡我良朋、不可不明此理。主之踐諾、人以為遲、實則不遲。主之寬忍、正為吾人之故、欲使血氣之倫、皆能悔過自新、而無一人遭受淪喪也。

夫法之所至罪之所彰也；而罪之所彰、恩亦彌盛。

夫法之所言、所以昭示法內之人、亦所以塞夫人之口、而使舉世皆服罪於天主之前也。

我本為褻瀆天主、摧殘教會、倨傲無禮之人、而竟蒙天主之矜憐者、蓋以我當時未有信德、盲目而行耳。今則吾主之聖寵、沛然充溢、膏澤吾身、俾我得仰體基督之心、信德愛德、日充日新。吾人常言、基督之降生斯世、為救罪人也。旨哉言乎、不我欺也。而罪人之中、吾其尤著者也。然吾之所以蒙矜憐者、蓋基督耶穌欲以我為先例、以昭示其無荒不包之雅量、庶幾後之信者、聞風而興、以承永生。

於此吾人尚有何說？異邦之人、未曾求義、竟因信而得義矣。義塞人求義於律法之中、而終未之得也。何以故？以其求之不以信、而以法耳。經云：『慎之哉、余以躓人之石、礙人之磐、置於西温；惟能置信者、決不失望。』顧義塞人則見躓於斯石矣。

『吾實告爾爾若不幡然化為赤子、則末由進天國。

耶穌他適、途中見一人、坐稅關、名瑪竇、召之曰：『從予。』即起而從之。

主曰：「惡哉僕乎！即以汝言、定汝之罪、汝既知予為人苛刻、不放而收、不播而獲、

故予語爾、上主之天神、見一罪人回頭、其歡忻雀躍、亦復如是。』

稅吏罪人群趨耶穌聆訓、經生與法利塞人竊議其接納罪人、且與同席、

昔在蒙昧之世、天主尚予優容、今已檄曉人群、咸當幡然悔改、

凡呼籲「吾主吾主」之人、未必盡進天國；惟奉行我天父之意旨者、始得進焉。

耶穌曰：『救恩臨於此宅、即在今日！夫彼亦亞伯漢之後也。且人子之來正欲追求迷失之人、而援救之耳。』

此所謂後來居先、先來居後；見召者多、而中選者寡耳』。

蓋凡能遵行我天父之旨者、是即我之兄弟、我之姊妹、與母氏也。』

爾祈禱時、亦勿效虛偽之徒；蓋若輩喜立於堂中街頭、而作祈禱、故令人見。吾實語爾、彼已獲其報矣。

吾實語爾、天地未逝、律中無一點一畫可以廢棄、以迨諸事之成。
