And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it. A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed him five hundred denarii [$70], and the other fifty [$7]. And having nothing to pay, he gave [the debt] to both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose the one to whom he gave most. And he said to him, You have judged rightly. And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house; you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs. You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time that I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. You anointed not my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she has loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. And those who reclined with him said within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
