Jesus and the love that forgives: Her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. Luke 7:47

Lord Jesus in the gospel of Luke set a sinful woman as an example of what it means to have that unconditional love (Agape) that always forgives.
Jesus, the gospel relates, had been invited to eat at the house of a Pharisee, perhaps this Pharisee was Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathea, who were secret disciples of Jesus, although the story does not explain this fact; and in that house a woman appeared with a large bottle of perfume, and with that bottle, the woman perfumed and dried the feet of Jesus.
Jesus, moved by the event, taught to the diners a beautiful parable about two debtors, one who owed more and another who owed less. And Jesus continued the parable and said that the creditor forgave the debt of the two debtors, and asked who could be the most grateful, and Peter answered that the one who owed the most, and Jesus wisely consented. With this parable, Jesus was referring to the sinful woman who was the one who owed the most. With this story, Jesus demonstrated that God's love and forgiveness are available to anyone who seeks it.
This is how the Gospel of Luke relates how Jesus, admired by the woman's action and full of love, forgave her:
"Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, ´Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil in my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.´
Then Jesus said to her, ´Your sins are forgiven.´
The other guests began to say among themselves, ´Who is this who even forgives sins?´
Jesus said to the woman, ´Your faith has saved you; go in peace.´" Luke 7:44-50.
