When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far away from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You. But [just] say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood at a distance.

and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to You; for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.

Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.

And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.

that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.

To you, O Lord, [belongs] righteousness, and to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the earth, wherever You have scattered them, for the sin which they have committed.

To you, O Lord our God, [belong] compassion and forgiveness, whereas we have departed [from You.]

Now having heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brothers, what shall we do?"

And all the crowds which came together for this spectacle, when they saw what had happened, beat their own chests and returned.

I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], You have chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn me, and I shall turn; for You [are] the Lord my God.

For after my captivity I repented, and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and showed You that I bore reproach from my youth.

For behold this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner, how much diligence it produced in you, even an eagerness to defend, even indignation, even fear, even longing, even zeal, even vengeance! In all things you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in this matter.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance; remember me according to Your mercy, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.

For Your name's sake, O Lord, be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

For the end, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the multitude of Your compassions, blot out my transgression.

For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

But You, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.

Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; give Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.

And let Your mercy come upon me, O Lord; [even] Your salvation, according to Your word.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

For with You is forgiveness;

Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption.

we have committed iniquity, we have transgressed, and we have departed and turned aside from Your commandments and from Your judgments;

To you, O Lord our God, [belong] compassion and forgiveness, whereas we have departed [from You.]

Moreover, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and have refused to heed Your voice; so the curse has come upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and behold our desolation, and that of the city which is called by Your name; for we do not bring our pitiful case before You on [the grounds of] our righteousness, but [because of] Your manifold compassions, O Lord.

Hearken, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for Your own sake; for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.

Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I shall by no means remember anymore."

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

And he arose and went to his father. But when he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom."

And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;

and he prayed to Him. And He hearkened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that the Lord, He is God.

behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer. And [God] hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.

And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasseh was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.

And come, let us reason together, says the Lord; and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.

For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember Your ways; behold, You were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,

and we have all become as unclean, and all our righteousness is as a filthy rag; and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].

But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call [the] righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

But [the] law came in alongside, so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace superabounded,

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Faithful is this word, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

If we claim that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we claim that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
