“And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?”
Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more? — the moneylender cancels both debts freely — there is no partial forgiveness or reduced payment. The question which will love him more is the parable's pivot: the size of the forgiveness shapes the size of the gratitude.
