Jesus spoke up. He answers the unspoken question of Simon. Two men who owed money. This is a parable - using common things to teach spiritual truth. Neither could pay him back. Both were helpless, as we all are before God. So he canceled the debts. This is GRACE: an undeserved favor. Which one, then? Grace brings love. Will one love him more than the other? The one who was forgiven more. This is Simon's evaluation. By it he judges himself.
