Luke 7

Summary. This chapter deals with the Lord Jesus’ authority on earth to forgive sins, heal, and raise the dead by His word. Also, in this chapter, the Lord Jesus confirms that He is indeed the Messiah promised by the Old Testament prophets. Luke 7:1-10. The Lord Jesus heals a centurion’s servant by saying a word, and He commands the faith of this centurion to the multitude following Him. Luke 7:11-15. The Lord Jesus shows His authority over the seen and unseen world by raising the son of a widow by His word, “arise.” The Lord sees the sorrowful heart of this widow and shows compassion toward her weeping heart. Luke 7:18-35. The Lord Jesus receives the messengers coming from John the Baptist. He confirms to them and the surrounding multitude that He is indeed the Messiah to come, as prophesied by the Old Testament prophets. He also confirms to the multitudes that John the Baptist is the messenger of the Lord. Luke 7:36-50. The Lord forgives a sinful woman by His word because of her deep love from her heart toward the Lord. This woman has worshiped the Lord when she has anointed His head with oil, and she has humbled herself and has paid respect to the Lord when she has anointed His feet with anointment. The Lord knows the inner thoughts of people’s hearts, and He gives the parable of the moneylender and the two debtors to show that the Father has sent His beloved Son to pay our debts.

[1] After He had ended all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum.

Comments Luke 7:1 For verses 1 to 10, see Comments Matthew 8:5-13. As shown in this verse, the Lord Jesus entered Capernaum after delivering the teachings on the level place in Luke chapter 6. If we examine Matthew 8:1-13 alongside this verse, we can conclude that there is a gap of time and space between Matthew 8:4 and Matthew 8:5.

[2] And a certain servant of a centurion, who was valued to him, was sick and at the point of death.

Comments Luke 7:2 This centurion has heard the rumor about the beloved Son of God; he has heard about the mercy of the Lord through the beloved Son of God. The heart of this centurion has already sought mercy from the Lord according to the situation of his servant.
“Who was valued to him.” This portion of the verse shows the relationship between the master and his servant. When you have a good servant, you, as a master, will want to do according to your own power to seek help for that servant.

[3] And when he heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, begging Him that He would come and save his servant.

Comments Luke 7:3 Matthew 8:5 says, “Now, He having entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, begging Him,” and Matthew 8:8 says, “However answering, the centurion said.” Here, in verse 3, it says, “he sent to Him elders of the Jews,” and in verse 6, it says, “the centurion sent friends to Him.” According to Matthew 8:5-10, the centurion actually came in person and spoke to the Lord. However, in this Gospel, it does not state that the centurion met Lord Jesus in person to plead for mercy.
Q: How should we integrate the information about the centurion found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke?
A: Between these two Gospels, there is no difference; just one Gospel presents information before the time of the event, and another Gospel presents information after the time of the event. Nonoverlap of time and information has been presented here. The centurion did send the elders begging for mercy; after hearing the Lord’s reply, the centurion himself had the courage to come and meet the Lord. This centurion was humble and saw himself as not worthy to ask the Lord for help if he would be the one to ask. Consider as well the time between the centurion’s conversation with the elders and the centurion’s own travel, and that in the midst of the way, he has received the answer that the Lord is coming, and the centurion stops and waits. At that same time, the centurion sent word with his friends to go to the Lord on his behalf to show the Lord that he was not worthy to come. Still, with the mercy of the Lord, he would come and beg the Lord for mercy on his servant.

[4] And they, when they came to Jesus, begged Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy that Thou should do this for him;

[5] for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.

Comments Luke 7:4-5 Remember, as well, who these people are who come to the beloved Son of God and make the petition. This centurion man has shown the people that he is fair and just toward the poor, so these people come begging mercy from the Lord on his behalf. Many people have questions about this centurion. Yes, he is not a Jew, but in his humble heart, he believes what he has heard people talking about the beloved Son of God, and that is why he asks them to come to beg the Lord. The same thing happens these days: people read the Bible and come to believe in the Son of God.

[6] And Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, Lord, trouble not Thyself; for I am not worthy that Thou should come under my roof;

Comments Luke 7:6 “The centurion sent friends.” This story related to the centurion has shown a clear picture of this centurion. Among his friends, he had expressed his feelings, and that is why, when the friends came, they told the beloved Son of God what the centurion had expressed himself. However, the Bible does not tell us what he discussed with his friends. From Matthew 8:8, it is understood that the centurion himself also repeats these sayings from Luke 7:6b-8. Indeed, later on, the centurion himself met with the Lord Jesus and showed respect towards the beloved Son of God; each Gospel tells us only part of the event happening (see Matthew 8:7-8).
Q: Did the centurion’s friends and the centurion himself repeat these same words to the Lord? A: Think this way: you are telling your friends something, and when you meet another person, you will also repeat the same things to that person. The Gospels have been presented in the same way. Additionally, we can see from each Gospel’s story that the events are presented in portions. However, when we combine all of them, we can get a complete picture of the entire story. In the Gospel of Matthew, the events found in Luke 7:3-8 are skipped, and in the Gospel of Luke, the events found in Matthew 8:6-9 are skipped. In the Gospel of Matthew, the events of Luke 7:3-8 are summarized as “a centurion came to Him, begging Him.” It is understood that the events described in Matthew 8:6-9 occurred after those in Luke 7:3-8.

[7] therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to Thee; but say a word, and let my servant be healed.

Comments Luke 7:7 In this Gospel, we are given the dialogue between the centurion’s friends and the Lord Jesus. The first part of this verse is found only here in this Gospel, which clearly shows why the centurion sent the elders and his friends first to meet the Lord.
See also Comments Matthew 8:8.

[8] For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does.

Comments Luke 7:8 This verse clearly states that the centurion himself acknowledges the authority of the beloved Son of God. He believes that by the Holy Word all things obey, and that if the Holy Son of God says a word, his servant will be healed instantly; this is the faith everyone should consider.

[9] Then having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed Him, I tell you, not even in Israel, I have found such great faith.

Comments Luke 7:9 See Comments Matthew 8:10.
Here in this verse, it appears that the Lord Jesus addresses the multitudes after He hears the message given by the centurion’s friends. But in Matthew 8:10, we are told that the Lord Jesus addresses the multitudes after the centurion spoke to Him.
Therefore, we can assume that, between verses 8 and 9 in this Gospel, some information is skipped. Combining the information from both Gospels, we can picture the events this way: the centurion himself asks the elders to invite the Lord Jesus for help, and the centurion and his friends, a large company, are traveling towards the Lord as well. And when they are not far apart, he sends his friends to convey the message regarding his thoughts and feelings to the Lord. When the friends return to the centurion and talk to him, the centurion himself has come and tells the Lord the same things. When the Lord Jesus hears the centurion’s message, the Lord turns and addresses the multitude.

[10] And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.

Comments Luke 7:10 The Bible does not mention the entire conversation, all the conversation the Lord Jesus had with the centurion himself, but in that length of time, some part of the people that came with the centurion have returned home to prepare and found the servant healed. The message in all the Gospels may not include all the details of the meeting, but we must combine them. The situation is resolved here, and the word of the Lord has miraculously healed the servant.

[11] And it came to pass on the next day, He went into a town called Nain; and His disciples went with Him, and a great multitude.

Comments Luke 7:11 In this verse, it shows that the Lord of Life is never alone; multitudes of people always surround him.

[12] Now when He drew near to the gate of the town, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and many people of the town were with her.

[13] And having seen her, the Lord had pity on her, and said to her, Weep not.

Comments Luke 7:13 In this place, the Bible speaks of the Lord Jesus’ pity (compassion) for the weeping heart. This mother, not just by action alone, weeps for her child from the depths of her soul, and that is why the Bible says, “The Lord had pity on her.”

[14] And He came near and touched the bier; and the bearers stopped. And He said, Young man, I say to you, Arise!

Comments Luke 7:14 In this verse, all humans can clearly see that the beloved Son of God has not only compassion but also authority. In order to make the dead arise, the Lord of Life has called back the soul of this young man, which shows the authority and power on earth that the Son of Man has.

[15] And the dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.

Comments Luke 7:15 When the Bible says that the Lord of life gave back the son to the mother, the mother of this child has experienced the love of the beloved Son of God beyond what human words can express.

[16] And fear took hold on all, and they began glorifying God, saying, A great prophet has risen among us, and, God has visited His people.

Comments Luke 7:16a “And fear took hold on all.” “Fear” is a human reaction when they see the dead getting up.
“… God has visited His people.” The beloved Son of God has shown His power here; the people have become witnesses that God has visited them on earth and shown mercy, which they can see with their own eyes.

[17] And this report went out concerning Him in the whole of Judea, and all the surrounding region.

[18] And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

Comments Luke 7:18 For verses 18 to 35, see Comments Matthew 11:2-19. Matthew 11:2 tells us that John was in prison at this time.

[19] And John calling to him two certain of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, Are Thou that comes, or look we for another?

Comments Luke 7:18-19 John shows doubt here; see Comments Matthew 11:2-3.

[20] And having come to Him, the men said, John the Baptist has sent us to Thee, saying, Are Thou that comes, or look we for another?

[21] In that hour He cured many of sicknesses and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind He granted to see.

Comments Luke 7:20-21 The content of these verses is not given in the Gospel of Matthew. These disciples will become great witnesses for their own master. Also, the message from the Lord Jesus, transmitted to John himself, will be a witness for John (see verses 22-23). And in his duty as the messenger of the Lord, John has started to understand more about the Messiah. John started from not knowing, but from this point on, he knows who the true Messiah, who comes in the world, is. John testified about the Lord Jesus before (see Luke 3:16) but did not tell people fully what the Messiah would do. Now, at this point, he can tell that the Lord Jesus has come on earth to witness people’s sufferings.

[22] And He answered and said to them, Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.

Comments Luke 7:22 This verse shows the details of the Lord’s work. These works are proof of the Messiah’s coming, as the prophets have prophesied in the Old Testament (see Comments Matthew 11:6).

[23] And blessed is who will not be offended in Me.

Comments Luke 7:23 Here, the Lord has clearly told us that if you believe in the work of the Lord, as the Bible tells us about what the Lord has done, then you are not stumbling into the true message of the Lord.

[24] And when the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

Comments Luke 7:24 See Comments Matthew 11:7.

[25] But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garment? Behold, those living in noble garments and in luxury are in palaces.

[26] But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

[27] This is he of whom it is written,
Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face,
Who will prepare Thy way before Thee.

Comments Luke 7:27 This verse is cited from Malachi 3:1; see Comments Matthew 3:1-11, and Comments Mark 1:2-3.

[28] I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

Comments Luke 7:28 See Comments Matthew 11:11-19 and Comments Mark 1:2-8.

[29] And all the people when they heard, and the tax collectors, acknowledged God being baptized the baptism of John.

Comments Luke 7:29 “Being baptized the baptism of John” tells us that these were already baptized in the baptism of John before this event happened, and that when they heard what the Lord said, that is when they acknowledged God. Here, we focus on the tax collectors, who are considered outcasts of society, but who have already been baptized, as have some of the people who were there. This shows that these people were prepared to meet the Lord Jesus, as verse 27 says.

[30] But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized by him.

Comments Luke 7:30 The leaders of society had rejected the baptism. When they heard the Lord Jesus speaking here, they all rejected not only John’s baptism but also the word of the Lord.

[31] To what then shall I liken the people of this generation, and to what are they like?

[32] They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another; saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.

Comments Luke 7:31-32 See Comments Matthew 11:16-17.

[33] For John the Baptist has come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.

[34] The Son of Man has come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!

Comments Luke 7:33-34 See Comments Matthew 11:17-19. The Lord Jesus “has come eating and drinking,” but He did not drink alcohol or grape wine, but pure grape juice. People used two types of grape juice in those times: fermented and freshly squeezed. The Lord always drank freshly squeezed grape juice; He never drank fermented grape juice. Usually, people would offer both types of grape juice, and the offerings differ. The adults would get the fermented one, and the children would get the freshly squeezed one, but the Lord would always take only the freshly squeezed one.

[35] And wisdom is justified by all her children.

Comments Luke 7:33-35 Here, we emphasize the word “wisdom.” By the wisdom the Lord has given to a person, if that person uses that wisdom in glorifying God, then all their children and anyone who knows them will also benefit from that wisdom.

[36] And one of the Pharisees desired Him that He would eat with him. And having entered into the Pharisee's house, He reclined.

Comments Luke 7:36 For verses 36 to 39, see Comments Matthew 26:6-13, Comments Mark 14:3-9, and Comments John 12:1-8.
Matthew 26:6 states, “And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.” Similarly, Mark 14:3 says, “And He, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.” In John 12:1, it is noted, “Jesus therefore, six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised out from the dead.”
As recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John, this episode took place in Bethany. Combining the accounts from all four Gospels, we can conclude that this episode took place in Bethany at two different houses. Two houses, same woman, but she did not do all the same things in each house. In one house, she would pour perfume from the head of the Lord Jesus, and the jar would be in her hand. And after things finished in this house, she followed the Lord to another house, where she went down and anointed His feet; the same jar of perfume was used twice. The Lord was traveling on foot; the first house was the house of Simon the leper, as given in Matthew 26:6 and Mark 14:3; and the second house was the house of this Pharisee, as given here in Luke 7:36.
The complete story is as follows. The Lord Jesus went to the leper’s house, where the woman anointed Him on the top of His head. After this, the Lord traveled further and stopped at the Pharisee’s house, where the same woman followed with the same jar and anointed Him at His feet. We have the same name, Simon, for both hosts, but not the same person or occupation. And the Holy Spirit, looking at both hosts together, gives one writer one portion of the story, and the same Holy Spirit gives another portion of the story to another writer. Therefore, it turns out to be a different angle of events in each Gospel. In conclusion, the stories in the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John take place in the house of Simon the Pharisee, which is different from the house of Simon the leper: different houses, but the same woman and the same jar of perfume.

[37] And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that He reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster jar of ointment,

Comments Luke 7:37 This woman is identified in John 11:2 as Mary, a sinner, but whose heart is clean. When she knows where the Lord is, she comes and glorifies the Lord the way she knows, and in her own ability. All people should think of her as well, a common sinner who glorifies the Lord. Here, we can say that Mary brought with her the same jar of ointment that she had in the house of Simon the Leper, and, as indicated in Mark 14:3, the top part of the jar was broken. Notice that in Mark 14:3 it says, “having broken the alabaster jar, she poured it on His head.” The truth is that indeed she did break the jar, but if you break the jar into pieces, how can you pour the ointment on the head of the Lord? So, the assumption is that she broke only the top of the jar, then poured the ointment on the Lord Jesus.

[38] and standing behind at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed with the ointment.

Comments Luke 7:38 As this verse states, she has washed the Lord Jesus’ feet with her tears, but these are not tears of sadness but tears of sorrow, because she feels in herself not worthy, so she used the hair of her head to dry His feet. Mary is a woman whom all women should look upon for the way she offered her worship to the Lord.
“And kissed His feet, and anointed with the ointment.” By tradition, the oil anointing is done for the elders, but in this place, the beloved Son of God is not an elder yet. This action of Mary shows her respect towards the beloved Son of God.

[39] Now when the Pharisee that had invited Him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, He, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches Him, for she is a sinner.

Comments Luke 7:39 “He spoke within himself.” Give attention to the fact that this man did not speak out, but in himself. In this verse, it tells all humans that the Lord Jesus knows what is within the hearts of humans. Without you speaking out, the Lord can hear your heart thinking, and this is the place of confirmation. This Pharisee knows how to judge the woman and consider her a sinner, but he himself is no different than her.

[40] And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he says, Teacher, say it.

Comments Luke 7:40 In this verse, the Bible tells us that the Pharisee’s name was Simon. This Simon, however, is different from Simon the leper, as we explained in Comment Luke 7:36. Also, notice the term Simon uses to address the Lord Jesus: “Teacher.” By the position he has given the Lord Jesus, it shows clearly the respect the Lord has among the people.

[41] There were two debtors to a certain moneylender: the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

Comments Luke 7:41 The Lord has given this parable for all to think about what the debtors are owing. The verse may say they owe money, but the Lord of Life did not come to talk about the way humans do business. These two debtors are owing praises to the Lord of Life for the fact that they are still alive and able to make it right in this world. When you owe something to anyone on earth, you must repay, but when you owe the One who gives your life, what should you think about the repayment?
In this parable, the moneylender is the Father Himself, and the debtors are all living creatures, not just humans, but all living creatures. In this place, the amount owing, fifty or five hundred denarii, refers to what all humans are owing, those that know the Lord and those that never knew the Lord. But these latter ones should still be seeking to know the Lord, as the Lord has put in their hearts, when they look around themselves and see all the creation of God. We could think that the fifty denarii debt is owed by those who know the Lord, and the five hundred denarii debt by those who never knew the Lord but see the creation of God around them. You know, or you don’t know the Lord, that is the sin that will be counted. When you never knew about the Lord, you should still be seeking what the Lord has put inside you. But if you do not respond, it will be counted toward the amount you owe. The debt here is not sin alone, but the way humans spend their lives reflecting on what the Lord has put in their hearts to think about their Creator.
By reading this parable, humans can truly understand sin to be related to the life of this earth. But for the Lord, who gives life to all humans, He is looking for those who come to give thanks to Him. Even those who have never heard about the Lord, when they look around themselves, can think about where all these things come from. And at the end, the conclusion will come that there is a Creator who created all, and all should praise Him.

[42] Having nothing to pay back, he showed kindness to both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

Comments Luke 7:42 “Having nothing to pay back, he showed kindness to both.” First, we do not view this verse spiritually. By the verse itself, when you owe something to someone, the person you owe it to will expect you to pay them back with interest. But here in this verse, you cannot pay back by money what you owe to the Lord, but by doing good to others in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Lord has been so good to all of us. The Father has sent the beloved Son of God to die for all humans, but what can all humans do to pay back the Father? No one on this earth can do anything directly to the Lord. But, only one thing the Father is asking from all: accept the teaching of the beloved Son of God and glorify His name, because the beloved Son of God has paid the debt you owe to the Father. On the cross, the beloved Son of God has paid it all. The big sin of one, the small sin of another, both sins have been paid. No one can say I am beloved more than another, because neither can pay enough for the debt that they owe to the Father.
“Which of them therefore will love him most?” This is the question to ask yourself: the sin you have committed, the beloved Son of God has paid for you, but what about the sins of your parents or your children, which in your eyes look so great? Nevertheless, if they all come, believe, and beg for mercy, the beloved Son of God has paid that debt as well. Who then can say, “You are beloved more than one another?” Because in your heart, you don’t really care about the sins of others that don’t relate to you; this is how all humans think the same way: the sins of others are not mine, but when it comes to your own family, you are willing to pay for it, and that is why we mention family sins here.
Therefore, as we care for our family, the Father cares for His family, because all humans who have received the beloved Son of God are counted as His family. The idea is that the Lord doesn’t favor one over another because they committed more or fewer sins; we are all sinners in His eyes. From God’s point of view, it doesn’t matter how much you sin; what matters is if you repent and come to the Lord Jesus.

[43] Simon answered and said, The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And He said to him, You have rightly judged.

Comments Luke 7:43 “And He said to him, You have rightly judged.” The beloved Son of God has answered the question of who loves God more, the one who commits less sin or the one who commits a greater sin, from a human point of view. However, when both sins are considered, the Lord has forgiven all, but here the Lord tells Simon that Simon has judged correctly from a human point of view. But the Lord also understands, in this parable, that the human way will have a human answer to the question. But in that answer, let all humans think as well that the way we all think and feel cannot be compared to what the Lord feels for humans. Regardless of your sin, the love from the heart is what the Lord wants to see, not the love from the mouth, but the love from deep inside your heart and soul.

[44] And turning to the woman, He said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave Me no water for My feet; but she has wet My feet with her tears, and wiped with her hair.

Comments Luke 7:44 From this verse, we can all clearly see that the Lord Himself has entered into your heart, but you have not prepared your heart to accept His teaching. But this poor woman poured out her sorrow upon His feet, and wiped them with the hair of her head. This sinner has offered for the Lord the humblest action, and this action has reflected her true belief in the beloved Son of God. She cannot pour out her sorrow if she has not given her heart to the Lord; this action clearly shows it. We all should look at her actions as an example.

[45] You gave Me no kiss; but she, since I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

Comments Luke 7:45 The Lord has told Simon that he did not first reflect on his love towards the Lord, but this poor woman has humbled her heart, kissed His feet, and shown respect towards the Lord; look upon her. Don’t forget, as well, that she kissed the Lord upon the feet, and by doing this, she has shown great respect.

[46] My head with oil you did not anoint; but she has anointed My feet with ointment.

Comments Luke 7:46 This saying is not a comparison between the two. In this verse, the Lord Jesus wants to point out that one did not worship, while the other humbled herself and worshiped the Lord. As the verse says, she has anointed the Lord’s head with oil and also His feet with ointment. When she has anointed His head with oil, she has worshiped the Lord Jesus; she has worshiped Him as the Lord Most High. But at that time, when she had anointed His feet with ointment, she had humbled herself to be below; this was her action and thought: worship with respect, and come with a humble heart.

[47] Therefore I say to you, Her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.

Comments Luke 7:47a “Her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much.” In this part of the verse, we will give attention to “loved much”. When someone loves the Lord much, that person will not worship Him from the head but will worship Him from their deep inner heart. And that is why their sins are forgiven. And even if that person has committed many sins in their life, if they have a sincere love towards God, they will receive forgiveness.
“But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” The person who feels they receive forgiveness little relates to the heart that does not recognize the authority of the Lord. The love that is little from that person cannot compare with the sin deep inside the heart of that person. If you don’t love the Lord you don’t give that sin (repent) to the Lord, and that sin remains inside you, and you cannot love the Lord if you don’t bring that sin and give it at the feet of the Lord to help you. The person who loves the Lord much also will glorify the Lord of Life much, but those that love little also will glorify little. The love in this place is shown in glorifying; if you don’t love the Lord, you will never glorify the Lord of Life. The unconfessed sin of the heart hinders your love towards the Lord.

[48] And He said to her, Your sins are forgiven.

Comments Luke 7:48 This woman has come to the Lord with a humble heart and recognized who the Lord Jesus is for her. She accepts in her heart that the Lord is the One who has authority to forgive her sins, and because of that, her sins are forgiven, as this verse tells.

[49] And those reclining with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

Comments Luke 7:49 Even though they thought within themselves, we can all clearly see that these people did not recognize the Lord Jesus’ authority. Also, their thoughts were going towards blaspheming against the Lord Himself.
“Who is this who even forgives sins?” This question shows the heart that blasphemes against God because it did not accept the Lord Jesus’ authority. The heart guides the mind to doubt the authority, and these have questions for themselves that the Lord Jesus does not have authority on this earth to forgive the sins of anyone.

[50] And He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

Comments Luke 7:50 In this verse, the Lord confirms that the woman has been saved by her faith in the authority of the Lord Jesus. And the Lord has blessed her life after this, so that she will have peace in this life from now on.

Life and Faith Applications. 1) Pray to the Lord for all your family and those under your authority. 2) Bring all the sins, open and hidden, and repent to the Lord in the name of the Lord Jesus to receive forgiveness. 3) Give praise that is due to the Lord of life. We owe Him praise for the fact that we are still alive and able to make it right in this world. 4) Do not doubt; believe in the work of the Lord Jesus; believe what the Bible tells us about what the Lord Jesus has done. 5) In every situation, ask mercy from the Lord with a crying and sincere heart.
