Jesus was invited to dinner at the house of a Pharisee. While there, a woman who was known as a sinner came and washed Jesus' feet with her tears, dried them with her hair, and poured perfume on them. The Pharisee was indignant, thinking Jesus should have known she was a sinner. Jesus told a parable about two debtors, one owing much more than the other, to illustrate that those forgiven much love much. He told the Pharisee that the woman's great love was due to her receiving forgiveness for her many sins.
