40 And Jesus answering, said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
41 And Jesus said, There was a certain creditor, who had two debtors; the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when he found they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose the man to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they who sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
