Lukas 7:50

50 Maar Hij zeide tot de vrouw: Uw geloof heeft u behouden; ga heen in vrede.

Lukas 7:50 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:50

And he said to the woman
Notwithstanding the Pharisee's censure, both of him and her:

thy faith hath saved thee;
meaning either the object of her faith, himself, who was the author of eternal salvation to her; or that she, through faith in him, had received the blessings of salvation, pardon, righteousness, and life from him, and the joys and comfort of it; and had both a right unto, and a meetness for eternal glory and happiness:

go in peace;
of conscience, and serenity of mind; let nothing disturb thee; not the remembrance of past sins, which are all forgiven, nor the suggestions of Satan, who may, at one time or another, present them to view; nor the troubles and afflictions of this present life; which are all in love; nor the reproaches and censures of men of a "pharisaic" spirit: go home to thy house, and about thy business, and cheerfully perform thy duty both to God and men; and when thou hast done thy generation work, thou shalt enter into eternal peace and joy.

49 En die mede aanzaten, begonnen te zeggen bij zichzelven: Wie is Deze, Die ook de zonden vergeeft?
