Luke 7:36-38
This is a compelling story. It appears in the other three Gospels but none portray the scene as powerfully as Luke.
“This scene is one of the great episodes in the Lucan Gospel, for it depicts Jesus not merely defending a sinful woman against the criticism of a Pharisee, but drives home in a special way the relationship between the forgiveness of sins (by God) and the place of human love and the giving of oneself in that process.”
