**Not only does he let the woman approach but he even forgives her sins, saying: “Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little” (Lk 7:47). Jesus is the incarnation of the Living God, the one who brings life amid deeds of death, sin, selfishness and self-absorption.**
This was a “woman of the evening” so to speak. Jesus allow her touching him, thus rendering him unclean by the old law, but she had loved much and is instead forgiven, not cast out.
Jesus allowed
Jesus wasn’t afraid of women because He wasn’t driven by His need to use them.
