WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[41] "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. [42] When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?" [43] Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly." [44] Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. [45] You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. [46] You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. [47] Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
