41 Two debtors paying usury were owing a certain creditor. The one owed five hundred denarii, yet the other fifty."
42 Now, they having nothing to pay, he deals graciously with both. Which of them, then, will be loving him more?
43 Now answering, Simon said, "I take it that it is he with whom he deals the more graciously.Now He said to him, "Correctly do you decide."
44 And, being turned to the woman, He averred to Simon, "Are you observing this woman? I entered into your house; water for My feet you do not give, yet she rains tears on My feet and with her hair she wipes them off;"
45 a kiss to Me you do not give, yet she, from the time I entered, did not intermit fondly kissing My feet;"
46 with oil My head you do not rub, yet she with attar rubs My feet;"
47 on behalf of which, I am saying to you, pardoned are her many sins, for she loves much. Now to whom there is scant pardoning, there is scant loving."
48 Now He said to her, "Pardoned are your sins."
