40But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
41“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
43“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
46You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
47Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
— Luke 7:40-47
