Luc 7:48

48 Puis il dit à la femme: Tes péchés te sont pardonnés.

Luc 7:48 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:48

And he saith unto her
Directing his discourse to the woman that now stood before him:

thy sins are forgiven;
which was said, partly on account of the Pharisee, to let him see, that he knew this woman, what she was, and had been; that she had been a sinner, a great sinner, one that owed five hundred pence, but was now forgiven, washed, cleansed, sanctified, and justified, and therefore not to be shunned and avoided; and partly on the woman's account, that she might have a fresh discovery of the forgiveness of her sins, for her comfort under the severe censure of the Pharisee, and that her faith in it might be strengthened; as also on his own account, to show that he was not only a prophet that had extraordinary knowledge of persons, and their characters, but that he was the most high God, to whom belonged the prerogative of pardoning sin.

Luc 7:48 In-Context

46 Tu n'as pas oint ma tête d'huile; mais elle a oint mes pieds d'une huile odoriférante.

47 C'est pourquoi je te le dis, ses péchés, qui sont en grand nombre, lui ont été pardonnés; car elle a beaucoup aimé; mais celui à qui on pardonne peu, aime peu.

48 Puis il dit à la femme: Tes péchés te sont pardonnés.

49 Et ceux qui étaient à table avec lui se mirent à dire en eux-mêmes: Qui est celui-ci, qui même pardonne les péchés?

50 Mais il dit à la femme: Ta foi t'a sauvée; va-t'en en paix.
