41. “Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days’ wages and the other owed fifty.
42. Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?”
43. Simon said in reply, “The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.” He said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
44. Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
46. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment.
47. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
