In the account recorded in Luke 7, Simon the Pharisee invites Jesus to eat at his house, where an unexpected visitor, a woman known as a sinner, enters. Simon compares himself to this woman and judges her as inferior. Jesus, addressing Simon directly, offers a parable to correct his perspective. He speaks of a creditor with two debtors, one owing 500 denarii and the other 50, both unable to repay, and the creditor forgives them both. Jesus asks Simon which debtor will love the creditor more, to which Simon replies, the one forgiven more. Jesus affirms Simon's judgment, then turns to the woman and points out Simon's lack of hospitality—Simon gave Him no water for His feet, no kiss, and no anointing oil, while the woman washed His feet with her tears, kissed them ceaselessly, and anointed them with fragrant oil. Jesus declares that the woman's many sins are forgiven because she loved much, while those forgiven little love little. Despite this lesson, others at the table miss the point, murmuring about Jesus forgiving sins and questioning His authority. Jesus concludes by telling the woman her faith has saved her and to go in peace. Simon's attitude of superiority, believing himself better than others, reflects a self-imposed notion of equality, presumptuously placing himself in the seat of judgment that belongs to God.
