And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
All Commentaries on Luke 7:42 Go To Luke 7
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Which will love him most? as we read in the Protestant version, and in the Greek, agapesei. But Christ, seeming to require love as a previous disposition to the remission of sins, as appears from ver. 47 below, the Catholic Church has adopted the version of St. Augustine, hom. xxiii. in the present tense: quis ergo plus eum diligit? (Jansenius, Comment. in Evang.)
