⁴¹ “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred ^(A)denarii, and the other fifty. ⁴² And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”

⁴³ Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”

And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” ⁴⁴ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no ^(B)water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. ⁴⁵ You gave Me no ^(C)kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. ^46 (D)You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. ^47 (E)Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
