39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he says, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Why I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.
48 And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
