Luke 7:40-50

New American Standard Bible

Parable of Two Debtors

⁴⁰ And Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he ^[a]replied, “Say it, Teacher.” ⁴¹ “A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred ^[b](A)denarii, and the other, fifty. ⁴² When they ^(B)were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” ⁴⁴ And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you ^(C)gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You ^[c](D)gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in. ^46 (E)You did not ^[d]anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. ⁴⁷ For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” ⁴⁸ And He said to her, “^(F)Your sins have been forgiven.” ⁴⁹ And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying ^[e]to themselves, “^(G)Who is this man who even forgives sins?” ⁵⁰ And He said to the woman, “^(H)Your faith has saved you; ^(I)go in peace.”
