What happensPermalink
Jesus heals a centurion’s servant and raises a widow’s son. John’s disciples ask whether Jesus is the Messiah; Jesus tells them to report what they have seen. He forgives a sinful woman.
Why it mattersPermalink
In answering John’s disciples, Jesus did not ask them for faith but provided direct evidence the He fulfilled the prophecies of the Messiah. When talking with Simon the Pharisee, He pointed not at the Pharisee’s good words but the woman’s good deeds.
Key versePermalink
“Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
