⁴¹ “There were two men who were in debt to a certain creditor. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other owed fifty. ⁴² When they were unable to repay him, he canceled both debts. Now which one of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answered, “I would imagine that it would be the one who was forgiven the larger amount.” Jesus replied, “You have judged rightly.”

⁴⁴ Then, turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your home, and you provided no water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss, but she has not ceased to kiss my feet from the time I came in. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷ Therefore, I tell you: her many sins have been forgiven her because she has shown great love. But the one who has been forgiven little has little love.”

⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
