Luke 7:42

A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet

⁴¹ “A certain moneylender had two debtors: one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. ⁴² When they had no means of repaying [the debts], he freely forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answered, “The one, I take it, for whom he forgave more.” Jesus said to him, “You have decided correctly.”
