Luke 7:42-50 Common English Bible (CEB)

42. When they couldn’t pay, the lender forgave the debts of them both. Which of them will love him more?"

43. Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled." Jesus said, "You have judged correctly."

44. Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your home, you didn’t give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with tears and wiped them with her hair.

45. You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in.

46. You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has poured perfumed oil on my feet.

47. This is why I tell you that her many sins have been forgiven; so she has shown great love. The one who is forgiven little loves little."

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

49. The other table guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this person that even forgives sins?"

50. Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
