Context of Luke 7:48

46You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” 49And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying to themselves, “Who is this Man who even forgives sins?” 50And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
