The passage describes an interaction between Jesus and a sinful woman at a Pharisee's house. The woman, who had lived a sinful life, comes to Jesus and washes his feet with her tears, dries them with her hair, and pours perfume on them. The Pharisee criticizes Jesus for allowing a sinner to touch him. Jesus tells the Pharisee that the woman's great love comes from her understanding that her many sins have been forgiven. He says that those who feel they have little to be forgiven love little. The woman found acceptance from Jesus and experienced her worth, giving her courage to worship him freely despite others' judgments.

17. 40 Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to tell you.
Tell me, teacher, he said.
41 Two people owed money to a certain lender. One owed
him 500 silver coins. The other owed him 50 silver coins. 42
Neither of them had the money to pay him back. So he let them
go without paying. Which of them will love him more?
43 Simon replied, I suppose the one who owed the
most money.
You are right, Jesus said.
