In this account Luke 7.37-39; Matthew 26.6-13; Mark 14.3-9; John 12.1-8, a Pharisee invited to Jesus have dinner with him. A woman, who lived a sinful life, probably a prostitute, came into the Pharisee's house, bringing an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She wet His feet with her tears and wiped His feet with her hair, kissed them and pooured perfume on them. The Pharisee who had invited Jesus, said to himself, if he was a prophet , he would know this woman was a prostitute. Jesus told the Pharisee, the parable of two men owing money to this money lender Luke 7.41-42; Matthew 18.23-24
. Which one would show him more gratitute if his debt was forgiven, The Pharisee said that the one who had the bigger debt canceled. Jesus then compared this woman to the Pharisee, that since she had more sins (debts) which were forgiven, she was the one who showed the most gratitude to Jesus
