But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”Then He said to her,“ Your sins are forgiven.”And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves,“ Who is this who even forgives sins?”Then He said to the woman,“ Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

For I have trodden them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes.For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come.I looked, but there was no one to help, And I wondered That there was no one to uphold; Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; And My own fury, it sustained Me.I have trodden down the peoples in My anger, Made them drunk in My fury, And brought down their strength to the earth.”
