41 “A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred [a](A)denarii, and the other, fifty. 42 When they (B)were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you (C)gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You [b](D)gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in. 46 (E)You did not [c]anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For 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.”
