Luke 7:48 (KJV)
Commentary on Luke 7:48
Jesus tells the forgiven woman: 'Thy sins are forgiven.' The Greek 'aphēōntai' (ἀφέωνται, are forgiven, perfect passive) indicates completed action with ongoing state—her sins have been and remain forgiven. Jesus publicly pronounces what her faith already received. This forgiveness claim sparked controversy ('Who is this that forgiveth sins also?' v. 49) because only God forgives sin. Jesus' claim to forgive asserted His divine authority. The woman's faith and love response (washing Jesus' feet with tears, anointing with perfume) demonstrated genuine repentance resulting in forgiveness.
