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?”
