44. Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet. But she washed my feet with her tears and dried my feet with her hair.
45. You did not greet me with a kiss, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in.
46. You did not honor me with oil for my head, but she rubbed my feet with her sweet-smelling oil.
47. I tell you that her many sins are forgiven. This is clear, because she showed great love. People who are forgiven only a little will love only a little.”
48. Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49. The people sitting at the table began to think to themselves, “Who does this man think he is? How can he forgive sins?”
50. Jesus said to the woman, “Because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.”
