44. He turned towards the woman and said to Simon, “Have you noticed this woman? When I came into your home, you didn't give me any water so I could wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45. You didn't greet me with a kiss, but from the time I came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
46. You didn't even pour olive oil on my head, but she has poured expensive perfume on my feet.
47. So I tell you that all her sins are forgiven, and that is why she has shown great love. But anyone who has been forgiven for only a little will show only a little love.”
48. Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49. Some other guests started saying to one another, “Who is this who dares to forgive sins?”
50. But Jesus told the woman, “Because of your faith, you are now saved. May God give you peace!”
