Luke 7:41-47

Listen to Luke 7:41-47
41 "There were two debtors [who owed] a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty.
42 [When] they were not able to repay [him], he forgave [the debts] of both. Now which of them will love him more?"
43 Simon answered [and] said, "I suppose that [it is the one] to whom he forgave more." 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 into your house. You did not give me water for [my] feet, but she wet my feet with [her] tears and wiped [them] with her hair.
45 You did not give me a kiss, but from the time I entered, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
46 You did not anoint my head with olive oil, but she anointed my feet with perfumed oil.
47 {For this reason} I tell you, her sins--[which were] many--have been forgiven, for she loved much. But [the one] to whom little is forgiven loves little."
