40 And Jesus responding said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Speak, Teacher. 41 There were two debtors to a certain creditor: the one owed him five hundred denaria, and the other fifty. 42 And they not being able to pay, he forgave them both. Then which one of them will love him the more? 43 Simon responding said, I perceive, that he, to whom he forgave the more. And He said to him, You answered correctly. 44 And turning to the woman He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet. 46 Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh. 47 Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little. 48 And He said to her; Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And those sitting along with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins? 50 And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved them; go in peace.
