7:41 - There were two debtors who owed the same creditor; one owing him fifty pence, and the other owed him five hundred.

7:42 - When they didn’t have any money to give, he simply forgave both of them. So tell me which one of them is going to love him the most?

7:43 - Simon answered, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. Thou has rightly judged.

7:44 - He turned to the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered the house and you gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with tears and dried it with her hair.

7:45 - This woman shows me the utmost respect and adoration while you show me none.

7:49 - The people who were with him at dinner began to ask themselves who this was person also forgiving sins?

7:50 - He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you. Now go in peace.
