Luke 7:42 in Context — Luke 7
40 E Jesus lhe respondeu: “Simão, tenho uma coisa a te dizer”; e ele disse: “Dize-a, Mestre”.
41 [Jesus] disse: “Certo credor tinha dois devedores. Um lhe devia quinhentas moedas de prata, e o outro cinquenta.
42 Como não tinham com que pagar, perdoou-lhes [a dívida] de ambos. Dize, pois, qual deles o amará mais?”
43 Simão respondeu: Tenho para mim que aquele a quem mais perdoou. E ele lhe disse: Julgaste corretamente.
44 Ele se voltou à mulher, e disse a Simão: Vês tu esta mulher? Entrei na tua casa, e não me deste água para os pés; porém esta molhou os meus pés com lágrimas, e os enxugou com os seus cabelos da cabeça.
