Luc 7:48

48 Et il dit à la femme: Tes péchés 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 point versé d'huile sur ma tête; mais elle, elle a versé du parfum sur mes pieds.

47 C'est pourquoi, je te le dis, ses nombreux péchés ont été pardonnés: car elle a beaucoup aimé. Mais celui à qui on pardonne peu aime peu.

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

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

50 Mais Jésus dit à la femme: Ta foi t'a sauvée, va en paix.
