⁴⁰ Jesus said to him, ‘Simon, I want to tell you something.’ Simon replied, ‘Yes, Teacher, tell me.’ So Jesus told him a story about two men:

⁴¹ ‘Someone had lent two men some money. He had lent one of them 500 silver coins. He had lent the other one 50 coins.^{[a] 42} Neither of the men had enough money to pay him back. Then the man that had lent them the money forgave them. “You do not need to pay back my money,” he said to them both.’

Jesus then asked Simon, ‘Which of these two men will love that man most?’
