Luke 7:40-50

40Jesus, answering, said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Teacher, say it.”

41“A certain moneylender had two debtors: one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42When they had no means of repaying [the debts], he freely forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon answered, “The one, I take it, for whom he forgave more.” Jesus said to him, “You have decided correctly.”

44Then turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house [but you failed to extend to Me the usual courtesies shown to a guest]; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair [demonstrating her love].

45You gave Me no [welcoming] kiss, but from the moment I came in, she has not ceased to kiss My feet.

46You did not [even] anoint My head with [ordinary] oil, but she has anointed My feet with [costly and rare] perfume.

47Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

48Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith [in Me] has saved you; go in peace [free from the distress experienced because of sin].”
