The Parable of The Creditor and the Two Debtors is found in Luke 7:36-50

The question that the story poses is: can Simon see differently? Can he see what Jesus sees: a forgiven woman who shows great love? If he can see her this way, then he may perceive Jesus not only as prophet, but also as the agent of God's forgiving love.

Meaning of Parable of Creditor & Two Debtors - The purpose and message of this parable are based on Jesus' desire to explain to Simon his reaction to the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and anointed his feet with oils from her alabaster box.

Very simply, she is repenting of her many sins (hence the weeping), and therefore she is acting this way because of her great debt.
