Luke 7:41-47

41“A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred 12denarii, and the other fifty.

42When they 3were 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 4gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45You 5gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

466You 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.”
