Luke 7:41-47

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.”
