36Then one of the Pharisees invited Him to eat with Him, so He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined.
37But then, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she found out that He was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume,
38and as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39Now as the Pharisee who had invited Him observed this, he was saying to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him, including what sort of woman she is—because she is a sinner!”
40So Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say on.”
41“A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42And when they had no way to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now tell me, which of them will love him more?”
43So Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one to whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
