Contextual Overview
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees asked Him that He eat with him. And going into the Pharisee's house, He reclined. 37 And, behold, a woman who was a sinner in the city, knowing that He reclined in the Pharisee's house, taking an alabaster vial of ointment, 38 and standing at His feet, weeping behind Him , she began to wash His feet with tears. And she was wiping with the hairs of her head. And she ardently kissed His feet and was anointing them with the ointment. 39 But seeing, the Pharisee who invited Him spoke within himself, saying, This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what the woman who touches him is ; for she is a sinner. 40 And answering, Jesus said to the man, Simon, I have a thing to say to you. And he said, Teacher, speak. 41 There were two debtors to a certain creditor: the one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty. 42 But they not having a thing to pay, he freely forgave both. Then which of them do you say will love him most? 43 And answering, Simon said, I suppose the one to whom he freely forgave the most. And He said to him, You have judged rightly. 44 And turning to the woman, He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give water for My feet, but she washed My feet with tears and wiped off with the hairs of her head. 45 You gave Me no kiss, but she from when I entered did not stop fervently kissing My feet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they that sat at meat with him,.... Other Pharisees that sat at Simon's table with Christ, whom he had invited as guests, on this occasion of seeing and conversing with Jesus; or some of Simon's family, that sat down to eat with him;
began to say within themselves; that is, either thought and reasoned in their own minds, or whispered among themselves:
who is this that forgiveth sins also? who not content to transgress the traditions of the elders, by admitting a sinful woman to touch him, but assumes that to himself which is peculiar to God, to forgive sin: this they said, not as wondering at him, what manner of person he must be, that with such authority pronounced the forgiveness of sin, as Grotius thinks; but rather as offended with him, and filled with indignation against him, and so censuring and reproaching him for wickedness and blasphemy.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Who is this ... - A very pertinent question. Who could he be but God? Man could not do it, and there is no wonder that they were amazed.
