Luke 7:40-43

Then Jesus answered his thoughts. "Simon," he said to the Pharisee, "I have something to say to you."  "Go ahead, Teacher," Simon replied. Then Jesus told him this story: "A man loaned money to two people--500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?" Simon answered, "I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt."  "That's right," Jesus said.

"A man loaned money to two people--500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other."

Matthew 18:23-24  "Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars." (10,000 talents of gold, a talent = 75 lbs)

But the man fell down before his master and begged him, 'Please, be patient with me and I will pay it all.' Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt."

 

"Who do you suppose loved him more after that?" Simon answered, "I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt."  "That's right," Jesus said.
