The parable compares a self-righteous Pharisee and a sinful woman who humbly anoints Jesus’ feet. The Pharisee is likened unto the debtor who owes 50 pence and the sinful woman to the debtor who owes 500 pence. This parable highlights a proud church going person who is self-righteous to a humble sinner rejected by the church who submits to God’s will.  But, what does the owing of 500 and 50 pence mean?
