The House of Simon I New Testament Stories I Children's Bible Stories | Holy Tales Bible Stories

Hi I live in this library with my best friends Freckles and Tubby. I love singing with my friends and I just love eating books. Everyday Freckles, Tubby and I go to Holy the oldest and wisest bookworm of the library. She lives in the Bible and she knows all these wonderful stories. We just love listening to her stories. Hi Holy now that you are up can you please tell us another story of Jesus. We all find these stories so exciting. I will only if you promise to listen carefully and answer a question at the end. Yes we promise. Long ago Jesus was invited to the house of a man called Simon. He lived in a town called Nain. Simon was a Pharisee which meant he lived strictly following all of the Jewish laws. Simon did not believe Jesus to be one of the prophets of God. When Jesus took his place and sat at the table a woman walked inside the room. She knelt down before Jesus and cried softly. Her tears fell on Jesus' feet and she wiped it with her hair. She had with her a jar of expensive oil. She covered his feet with kisses and spread the perfumed oil on his feet with her own two hands. Simon was surprised. The woman had a bad reputation in town. Simon thought to himself as to how Jesus could allow this. Knowing what he was thinking Jesus told Simon the story of two men who had borrowed money from a money lender. One man borrowed 100 silver coins and the other 50. Both of them could not pay back the money lender. The money lender was a good man and so he cancelled their debts. At the end of the story Jesus asked Simon, Tell me which man out of the two would be the most grateful? Simon replied, Obviously the one who had borrowed more money. Jesus then explained to Simon, When I entered the house you did not give me a kiss of friendship. Neither did you wash my feet nor did you anoint me with oil. This sinful woman on the other hand showed me so much of love. Jesus then turned to the woman and told her that all of her sins had been forgiven. Jesus was such a clever and wise man. He knew what Simon was thinking. Ofcourse he was silly. He was a son of God. He knew everything. So Holy what is the question for today? What was the name of the town where Simon lived? The name of the town was Maine. Well close it was Nain. Anyway we should go now and let Holy sleep. Or else she will be too tired to tell us another story the next time. Bye Holy we shall see you soon. Bye Gumbo, Bye Tubby, Bye Freckles see you.
