Luke 7:41-50 ▼

41 “There were two debtors to a certain lender. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42 Of them having nothing to repay, he forgave both. Therefore which of them will love him more?”

43 Answering, Simon said, “I suppose he to whom he forgave the more.” And He said to him, “You judged correctly.”

44 And having turned to the woman, He was saying to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but she herself wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45 You did not give to Me a kiss, but from which time I entered, she herself did not cease kissing My feet.

46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she herself anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

47 Therefore I say to you this: Her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.”

48 And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.”

49 And those reclining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50 And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
