Luke 7:41-50

41 [So Jesus said,] "Two men owed a moneylender some money. One owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other owed him fifty.
42 When they couldn't pay it back, he was kind enough to cancel their debts. Now, who do you think will love him the most?"
43 Simon answered, "I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled." Jesus said to him, "You're right!"
44 Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "You see this woman, don't you? I came into your house. You didn't wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 You didn't give me a kiss. But ever since I came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
46 You didn't put any olive oil on my head. But she has poured perfume on my feet.
47 That's why I'm telling you that her many sins have been forgiven. Her great love proves that. But whoever receives little forgiveness loves very little."
48 Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven."
49 The other guests thought, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?"
50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace!"
