Luke 7:40-49

English Standard Version

⁴⁰ And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”

⁴¹ “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred ^(A)denarii, and the other fifty. ^42 (B)When they could not pay, he ^(C)cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” ⁴⁴ Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; ^(D)you gave me no water for my feet, but ^(E)she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ^45 (F)You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to ^(G)kiss my feet. ^46 (H)You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷ Therefore I tell you, her sins, ^(I)which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” ⁴⁸ And he said to her, ^(J)“Your sins are forgiven.” ⁴⁹ Then those who were at table with him began to say among^[a] themselves, ^(K)“Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
