Luke 7:36-43

³⁶One day one of the Pharisees named Simon invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man's house and reclined to eat.

³⁷There was a woman in that city who many people knew had been a prostitute EUP. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.

³⁸As the people there were reclining to eat, the woman stood behind Jesus, at his feet. As she was crying because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus' feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

³⁹When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw that, he thought, “ Prophets know about other people's lives, so if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! EUP”

⁴⁰Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you (sg).” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”

⁴¹Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who earned money by lending it to others. One owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other owed him fifty silver coins.

⁴²Neither of them was able to pay back what he owed, so the man very kindly said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”

⁴³Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back will love him more.” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
