Luke 7:40-50

40And Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he 1replied, “Say it, Teacher.”

41“A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred 23denarii, and the other fifty.

42When they 4were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

44Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you 5gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45You 6gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

467You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.

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

48Then He said to her, “8Your sins have been forgiven.”

49Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say 9to themselves, “10Who is this man who even forgives sins?”

50And He said to the woman, “11Your faith has saved you; 12go in peace.”
