37 Meanwhile, a woman from the city, a sinner, discovered that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee’s house. She brought perfumed oil in a vase made of alabaster.
38 Standing behind him at his feet and crying, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured the oil on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw what was happening, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. He would know that she is a sinner.
40 Jesus replied, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Teacher, speak," he said.
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. One owed enough money to pay five hundred people for a day’s work. The other owed enough money for fifty.
42 When they couldn’t pay, the lender forgave the debts of them both. Which of them will love him more?"
43 Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled." Jesus said, "You have judged correctly."
