Luke 7:42 in Context — Luke 7
40 Jésus prit la parole, et lui dit: Simon, j’ai quelque chose à te dire. Maître, parle, répondit-il.
41 Un créancier avait deux débiteurs: l’un devait cinq cents deniers, et l’autre cinquante.
42 Comme ils n’avaient pas de quoi payer, il leur remit à tous deux leur dette. Lequel l’aimera le plus?
43 Simon répondit: Celui, je pense, auquel il a le plus remis. Jésus lui dit: Tu as bien jugé.
44 Puis, se tournant vers la femme, il dit à Simon: Vois-tu cette femme? Je suis entré dans ta maison, et tu ne m’as point donné d’eau pour laver mes pieds; mais elle, elle les a mouillés de ses larmes, et les a essuyés avec ses cheveux.
