A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet
45 You did not give me a kiss [of greeting], but from the time I came in [to your house] she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not pour [aromatic] oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. 47 For this reason, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. [Note: This suggests that her forgiveness was the result of her loving, but the point Jesus makes better fits the idea that her forgiveness produced love]. But the person who is forgiven of little [i.e., of only a few sins], loves [only] a little bit."
