Luke 7:41-47

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

42When they 3were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?”

43Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

44And turning 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 56gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in.

467You did not 8anoint 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 the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”
