John Trapp on Luke 7:48-50

Verse 48. Thy sinnes are forgiven thee] Melanchthon makes mention of a godly woman, who having upon her death-bed been much conflicted, and afterwards much comforted, brake out into these words; Now, and not till now, I understand the meaning of those words, Thy sins are forgiven. It is storied of another that courting a curtezan, and understanding that her name was Mary: he remembred Mary Magdelen, and forbearing to commit that act of filthinesse that he intended, became a sound convert.
