39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

41 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
47 Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
