10 While he was having dinner at Matthew's home, many tax collectors and sinners arrived and began eating with Jesus and his disciples.

11 The Pharisees saw this and asked his disciples, |Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?|

12 When Jesus heard that, he said, |Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.

13 Go and learn what this means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice,' because I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners.|
