45
You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
46
You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
47
And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.
48
And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
49
And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
50
And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
