“Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.”
Simon replied, I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven. You have judged correctly, Jesus said — Simon's correct answer (I suppose — hypelambanō, I assume, somewhat reluctantly) is the conclusion that the parable requires. You have judged correctly: the commendation is straightforward — Simon has understood the parable's logic. He has not yet applied it to the scene before him.
