Lk 7:41:There was a certain creditor which had two debtors:the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

Lk 7:42:And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Lk 7:43:Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Lk 7:44:And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine 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.

Lk 7:45:Thou gavest me no kiss:but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Lk 7:46:My head with oil thou didst not anoint:but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Lk 7:47: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.

Lk 7:48:And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

Lk 7:49:And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

Lk 7:50:And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
