I knew he did not believe I could be a Prophet... So I told him a story of two men who both owe a money-lender money they cannot pay back.... The money-lender cancelled both their debts.... I then asked my host a question.... My question was as follows.... Who did Simon think loved the money-lender the most?.... He answered my question... But the answer came very relunctantly.... He supposed the one who had the bigger debt cancelled loves most... I told him he had judged correctly."....

Jesus follows His story up by asking Simon, which is the name of the religious leader, a question related to the story. And Simon, having to be polite, reluctantly answers him as you can read in Luke 7:43

Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt cancelled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said.

Jesus lets Simon know that he has given Him the right answer to His question.
