Jesus ' response to the anointing in Luke is completely different from that recorded in the other gospels.
Rather than Jesus ' above-mentioned comments on the " poor you will always have with you ", here he tells his host the Parable of the Two Debtors.
As one commentator notes, " Luke is the only one to record the parable of the two debtors, and he chooses to preserve it in this setting ...
If one considers the other gospel accounts as a variation of the same event, it is likely that the parable is not authentically set.
Otherwise, the powerful message from the parable located in this setting would likely be preserved elsewhere, too.
However, if one considers the story historically accurate, happening in Jesus ' life apart from the similar incidents recorded in the other gospels, the question of the authenticity of the parable receives a different answer ... John Nolland, following Wilckens ' ideas, writes: ' There can hardly be a prior form of the episode not containing the present parable, since this would leave the Pharisee's concerns of v 39 with no adequate response '.
